Hi all,<\/p>\n
I hope you all have been able to enjoy this lovely fall weather this weekend! \u00a0Several of us went down to cheer on Jane and other WRW runners (including 2 of last year\u2019s beginners!) at the Royal Parks Half Marathon this morning and we couldn\u2019t have asked for a nicer day.<\/p>\n
Speaking of half marathons\u2026 we know it\u2019s hard to fathom even running as far as Big Ben, but as you know the spring half marathon trip has been announced and the hotel and flight details will be coming out this week. \u00a0There is no rush to book – the race itself hasn\u2019t even opened up for registrations – but we want to give you all the chance to ask questions now in case you want to book your flights. \u00a0Once the WRW gang starts booking flights, the cost will start to go up and we don\u2019t want you to miss out on cheaper flights if you\u2019re ready to book.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, Meg has graciously offered to host a post-run coffee at her house this coming Thursday. \u00a0We will plan for our regular run route to end at her house on Hamilton Gardens (close to the Abbey Road crossing). \u00a0We will talk about the race and have some ex-beginners come to share their experiences from past years. \u00a0It\u2019s good to hear from them about how YOU CAN DO THIS!<\/p>\n
If you can\u2019t make the run this week but can make the coffee, please come. \u00a0We will probably get to Meg\u2019s house around 9:30 am. \u00a0Meg\u2019s address is 20 Hamilton Gardens, NW8 9PU. \u00a0If you can\u2019t make breakfast, please reach out to one of us if you have any questions. \u00a0The trip email will likely be sent out on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
For our run on Thursday, we will be running a total of 22 minutes, slipping in a few 4 minute blocks. \u00a0Going forward, the amount of time spent running starts to increase more quickly since you have built the base you need to start to run longer. \u00a0It is really important to get that second run in each week so you keep that base up and build from there. \u00a0Anyone on this list who hasn\u2019t been out running with us – now is the time to jump in before we are too far along in the program.<\/p>\n
See you all on Thursday!<\/p>\n
Amy, Meg & Vicky<\/p>\n
Route for this week:<\/p>\n
Cross Wellington and run down\u00a0Circus\/Hall Road to Hamilton Terrace. \u00a0Go right on Hamilton Terrace until Abercorn Place where you take a left. \u00a0It becomes Elgin, which we stay on until Chippenham Road (about 3\/4 mile). \u00a0Take a right on Chippenham to Shirland, a right on Shirland briefly, then a left on Kilburn Park Road. \u00a0Run up Kilburn Park Road to Carlton Vale, go right on Carlton Vale until Abbey Road, and go right on Abbey until Garden Road, which leads to Hamilton Gardens – and Meg’s house!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
