how to run 2 thread with different code

Dica

i'm just learning java now, so this might be obvious, but not to me.

my app needs to do two things:
(1) connect to and fetch a list of tasks for a user from a web service
(2) connect to mapquest and get driving instructions

both connections should run under a separate thread, but from what i've
read, threads can only implement a single run() method. so, how do i get
thread 1 to connect to one web service and thread 2 to connect to the other
if they share the same run method?

A single thread may implement only one run method (although this is not
precise language). However, different threads may admit different run
methods.

This is basic threading API stuff; you need to start with a good book or
tutorial on the basics. Don't try to cut-n-paste or hack together
thread code, you will regret it.
