Small experiments

Low-stakes attempts, half-formed ideas, and the occasional happy accident.

Couch to 26.2

I’m training for the 2027 Kilimanjaro and Rwenzori marathons, starting from zero. The Kilimanjaro marathon runs a relatively flat course in Moshi, in the foothills below Kilimanjaro, and there’s also the Rwenzori marathon. I don’t have running shoes yet; right now I’m walking on a treadmill and figuring out the budget. The first milestone is a 5k by November 1. If that lands, this graduates from a small experiment into a real project.
