I've never seen the live version either, so I'm lookin forward to it.

They will more than likely suck, but that is why a local running store has the motto "Heat, hills, humidity". It is to be expected....As for Hamilton, my son and I were obsessed with the cast recording two summers ago. We FINALLY got tickets for the performance in Atlanta....on March 31....which meant that we were in lockdown. Fortunately, the show has been rescheduled for next August, so I am hoping we will get to see it live then (and it was super expensive, but after living through this pandemic, spending an evening at the theater with my teenager is just another example of a priceless memory)!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11252894987837997853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-5728485171087462322020-07-06T18:04:59.987-05:002020-07-06T18:04:59.987-05:00Awesome week Wendy! 15 miles in Saturday's hea...Awesome week Wendy! 15 miles in Saturday's heat sounds so tough - kudos to you for persevering!<br /><br />I love your SUP pics :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176401115805884697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-10971707623829128782020-07-06T14:46:46.346-05:002020-07-06T14:46:46.346-05:00Grueling is a great word for it.

I think one of the things I had to get used to when I first began trail running was the slower times. Now I love the laid-back atmosphere of a trail race. Walking uphills or on really rocky/rooty sections of the trail is the norm (at least in the part of the pack where I usually run).
