Blogging has been slow here, primarily because I am not yet sure what shape this space will take now that I am veering off into a study/discipline/profession of which I have a very limited understanding and even less experience.
That being said, I did want to offer an update on the marathon training for all those who have donated so far (we’re nearing our goal, but ever so slowly, you can help out here!). I finished my first 30km training run in around 2h48 a couple of days ago. When I started training in March in Gulu, this would have seemed a daunting, unrealizable distance. After a few months of training, it was actually a breeze despite being a bit sore towards the end and for a few days after!
Over at Women of Kireka, children are already heading back to school and the women are preparing for the launch of our online store. They also spent a day tabling at the American Recreation Association market selling their wares and meeting other local jewelry makers.
