Hello everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you have all had a wonderful break – I have really missed running and catching up with you all. I am in New Orleans seeing my older daughter and am heading back to London tomorrow. I won’t be able to run with you until Jan 21 due to quarantine, unfortunately, but I will be cheering you on \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So – lockdown. We are back to what we were in November, and potentially even more strict. The UK government is telling us to act as if we have Covid although we are still allowed to leave our homes once a day and exercise with one other person outside of our household. We all need to review our personal comfort level to determine what is right for us. Our plan is to match those of you in London up with a coach but if you do not feel comfortable with that, please let me know – and that is totally fine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week is a 60 minute run on Thursday – to get us back on track, make sure we are all on the same page. I hope most of you have been able to run during the break. If you have not, please let us know so we can work with you to make sure you can build up and not be injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are extraordinary times – we know everyone is stressed and out of sorts. This is new for us, too, and we are trying to keep you all motivated and on track as much as we can. PLEASE reach out to any coach if you have questions or concerns about your training. The most important thing for us is that you are motivated and uninjured.
This is the status of each of you as I know it right now. Please let me know if this is not correct. We will plan to send out coach pairings mid-week for Thursday. I believe Melissa is on your What’sApp group so you can respond if you’re good to run on Thursday there. We are going to try to pair people up with the same person each week to limit the exposure. We can’t guarantee it, but that will be the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just want to acknowledge how impressed I am with ALL of you. This is a crazy year and it is SO HARD to do this without the full group support and you guys have really been SO INCREDIBLE with how you are PERSEVERING! Seriously – I could not be more impressed or prouder of all of you. Anything, really ANYTHING, that any of the coaches can do to help you keep on keeping on, please let us know. I love what all of you are becoming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
