I think a lot about my bigger dream: running Egypt from north to south, in stages. But today I realized something important — a big dream needs small stations before it happens, and the first station has to be an actual, official race.
I found a race called the "King Sneferu Pyramids Challenge" in Dahshur, 5 or 10k right among Sneferu's own pyramids. Not a huge distance, but the place is deeply symbolic — running next to something thousands of years old while I'm still in my first months of coming back to running.
Choosing a race for its meaning, not just its distance, made the dream feel closer. I won't get to run across all of Egypt if I can't first get through 5 kilometers somewhere worth it.
I'll pick a date, register, and start training more seriously for that race day.
