[...] Sometimes all you need is a worried mother and friend to tell it like it is. Reluctantly, I made the call to skip the race, BUT to make things fun for myself, I hosted my own race, much like Caitlin did with the Chickpea Masala 10k Race. [...]

A nice dress with pretty shoes would be perfect. Places here are usually very well heated, so just team it with a warm coat to get there in. Also, may I recommend that when you leave, you cross the road and turn right (toward Piccadilly Circus) and you treat yourself to some Laduree macaroons for enjoying a little later in the day? They are delicious! I love my city

Hey – I have been for tea at a few of the hotels in London, including the Ritz and it is definitely a “must-do” – you’ll really enjoy it. I love going for afternoon tea. Just make sure you book WELL in advance! As what to wear, you don’t need to wear a suit, you just have to be smart – I would say a nice dress or skirt and top. But more importantly, men MUST wear a suit jacket and tie.

If you want I can let you know my other recommendations of things to do.

I always worry about the hot dishes when I stop late. But I’m glad that you were able to get a run in even if it wasn’t the race. You didn’t give up and that’s important

Sorry you were sick but yay for tea at the Ritz. I live in the UK and have been to a few afternoon/high teas at fancy hotels (thanks work!) and suit is definitely not necessary, cocktail dress would be perfect (inside anyway, outside will be a little chilly).

you can wear whatever you want to the ritz!! but since it’s tea, i think you should dress in a tea time dress – but i’m a fan of dressing up haha congrats on the race!

Glad you are feeling better!

As for the Ritz, I went to tea there last year. Definitely don’t wear anything too cocktail-y – definitely no bare arms. I would go for a skirt or dress with a nice jacket or pretty cardigan. It’s pretty prim and proper in there – you’ll see lots of skirt suits. It’s so fun though – you’ll love it!
