The route I ran is pretty close to the shortest route around the lake. It could be made slightly shorter, which would also entail adding more hills, so pick your poison. :)
I ran this as a member of Team USA for the IAU 6HR Virtual Global Solidarity Run, to gain awareness and donations for Real Rent Duwamish and Black Lives matter, as well as in memory of my mom, my friend Bill Roe, and in honour of a lifelong family friend who is battling cancer.
Some people joined me for a few miles along the way, others joined on bike, and others came out to the course to cheer me on and give me food and water. It was the closest thing to a race experience I've had since March. So nice to have people in the community come out to support me. I'm very fortunate to have so many wonderful people in my life.
