(I ran a half marathon today.)
K’la, get ready.
It’s official: the Air Uganda line on my bank statement says I’m coming back. I’ll be in Kampala July 4 and 5, and in those two days I’m hoping to make up for the three and half years I’ve spent away from one of my favorite places in the world.
Blogren, perchance we can assemble a UBHH?
186 miles in 24 hours: complete
IT WILL BE FUN.
Still reeling a bit, but overall, the experience was sort of like this:
IT WILL BE FUN.
(Spoiler: it TOTALLY WAS.)
186 miles in 24 hours
I don’t talk about running very much on this blog, but I’m leaving town in a few hours to get ready for something awesome, and I wanted to share. Starting tomorrow morning, 11 other people and I will be running the 186-ish miles between Plymouth and Provincetown as part of Ragnar Cape Cod. It should be just over a day of sweaty, smelly, exhausting fun, including a middle-of-the-night run up a 3-mile-long hill.
If you’re on the Cape this weekend and see someone wearing this shirt, please say hi! And maybe toss us a bottle of water.
(If you’re curious about what it’s like to spend 24 straight hours crammed into a van with crazy runners, follow us Friday and Saturday at @capepitstains.)

Congratulations to @jssozi, @RosebellK, @maureenagena, and @echwalu on taking steps to provide Ugandan perspectives on the LRA. Wishing the team had more northern Ugandan voices, particularly given the complex relationship between southern Uganda (where most of these bloggers are from) and northern Uganda in the context of the LRA conflict.
