This is the week we\u2019ve all been waiting for! \u00a0Believe it or not, you are all ready to run to Big Ben, our first destination run. \u00a0Don\u2019t be intimidated – it is really not much farther than you have already been running. \u00a0In addition, there are a lot of traffic lights along the way that will give us some extra breaks. \u00a0We are so excited to do this run with you!<\/p>\n

Please remember to bring your Oyster card with you since we will be taking the tube home from Westminster. \u00a0We will take a photo in front of Big Ben and maybe grab a coffee at the Nero across the street.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On another note, I have sad news. \u00a0Meg\u2019s mother passed away this weekend. \u00a0Fortunately, she was able to be with her for the past week and will be there with her family this week. \u00a0I know she is disappointed to miss the Big Ben run but she sends everyone her best and will be back with us soon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you aren\u2019t able to join us on Thursday but want to do the run at a different time and\/or repeat next Tuesday, here is the route:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Start heading west on Circus Road and turn left on Grove End and follow south as it becomes Lisson Grove.\u00a0 Cross over Marylebone Road and continue on Seymour Place until the end.\u00a0 Turn right and cross over Edgware Road and then left to enter Hyde Park at the intersection with Stanhope Place.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Run along the eastern edge of the park to Hyde Park Corner, under Wellington Arch and down Constitution Hill.\u00a0 Run past the Victoria Memorial down the mall and enter St. James Park.\u00a0 Run over the pond and out of the park, turning left onto Birdcage Walk and down into Parliament Square to Big Ben.<\/span><\/div>\n
