Hi everyone,
It sounds like you all had a great run on Thursday! I was sorry to miss it but I can’t wait to see you all this week!
I want to make sure you all received the emails about our destination half in Berlin. Thank you to Sue who has worked really hard to make this happen. Please let me know if you did not get it. We are really excited about the race and hope you are, too. We can answer any questions you have about signing up and the trip. The race may sell out so we want everyone to get signed up as soon as possible. I know it may seem crazy, but I suggest just signing up and then forgetting about it 🙂
And so… this is the week we’ve all been waiting for! Believe it or not, you are all ready to run to Big Ben, our first destination run. Don’t be intimidated – it is really not much farther than you have already been running. In addition, there are a lot of traffic lights along the way that will give us some extra breaks. We are so excited to do this run with you!We will take a photo in front of Big Ben (well, what you can see of it given the scaffolding…) and probably the river and maybe grab a coffee at the Nero across the street.
RunGo
We at WRW have started using an app called RunGo for some of our routes. The great thing with this app is that it will give you turn-by-turn directions verbally so you don’t have to stop and check the map if you’re not sure of the route. I have created a WRW London Beginners group that will have our routes in it starting with Week 5 (before that we were just running around Regent’s with no particular route). There is also a regular WRW London group as well as a Wonder Woman Runners group (for the ramp up group that is kind of between regular and beginners) that you are welcome to follow if you’re looking for route ideas, especially starting late November when the Tuesday run changes. The link to the beginner group is here: https://routes.rungoapp.com/group/wrw-london-beginnersI have put last week’s route, if you’re interested, in RunGo: https://routes.rungoapp.com/route/dLa3pk6HBB
Can’t wait to see you all on Thursday!
