Loveday Writing

I completed my first “real world” fun run for the first time since COVID hit on 24 September – the 2023 Lake Run and Ride.

This fun run was significant for me as it was not only the first “real world” fun run I completed since COVID hit, but the 2019 Lake Run and Ride was the last “real world” fun run I completed before COVID hit, it was a weird but also nice full circle moment.

I completed the 5km course, which involved doing (almost) a full lap around Lake Albert. Due to the fact that I didn’t do any training for it, I didn’t finish in an hour or less like I wanted, however I was happy enough with a completion time of 1 hr, 6 minutes and 50 seconds.

Pictures from the day, my Strava data, and my finisher’s certificate can be found below.
