    Late last year I learned about a new marathon in the works for Lehigh Valley. Well earlier this year it was canceled due to another one in the makings though they wouldn't release any details. Well today in the newspaper they announced that the First Marathon held in Lehigh Valley since 1983 will be held on September 9th of this year. Of course dh and I had already scheduled Steamtown and Philly. Anyhoo dh just came in from his run and said if we are able to finish the 30k trail race (until that moment he said he would NOT be doing the 30k) without feeling burnt out afterwards that we would look into signing up for the Lehigh River Marathon (if we decide in time since they are limiting it to 200 individual runners and 200 relay teams) 3 marathons in 100 days Shocked somehow I can't imagine it happening.

            I'm ready for the race. Ready for the full 30k who knows (though I'm MUCH MORE ready than dh is). Decision is if just the 15k we race it, if full 30k we treat it as a LDSR (fast hike lol) Guess we'll see come Sunday if dh is serious or not.
