I hope you all had a great break for those of you who had break.  We have just two more long runs before the race – it’s coming up fast!  This week, we ease back into it a bit by doing 100 minutes.  We will do the long Hyde Park loop, going behind Kensington Palace, and then returning to SJW.  Mary H is going to meet us for coffee at Starbucks – we miss her! – so I hope you can stay for a bit after the run.

As the race approaches, if you are going to the race, you will receive more detailed information from Jane about who is on which flight and any details about the itinerary for the weekend.  In the meantime, please make sure you send me the information for the photo directory if you haven’t already.  The deadline is this Friday.  It’s really great for the MWF group to get to see who you are and vice versa!

Also, don’t forget to go to one of the filming sessions this week at Chris Roberts’ house.  I went yesterday and it was quite amusing.  Even if you are not going to the race, please go to a session!  The video is to celebrate all of our runners, not just those who are going to the race.

The date that worked for most of us to go see Jodi preach is 8 May.  As we get closer, we will coordinate heading over or meeting there.  If you can’t go that day, she is also preaching this Sunday (10 April) as well as 5 June (her last time).

Make sure you are doing lots and lots of stretching these last few weeks before the race.  We don’t want any injuries!

Here’s a map of the route for Thursday.  See you then!
