Yes! I did it. Lake run complete.

This morning I ticked off another long-term goal, to completely circumnavigate Virginia Water Lake, running. I took a 6.43km route, definitely not the flattest.

It was getting very warm, and quite long parts of it are in the open so the sun was beating down.

This is a big psychological win for me, and I remember thinking not that long ago that the lake was huge and just simply not possible. Well, I proved me wrong.

Now I can build up to 10k and also get back on a bike and start cycling again - something I haven't done since college.

This brings back happy memories for me as I use to run around there before we moved. Like you, when I ran around the first time I felt epic!

Well done, it’s a beautiful lake 🙂
