This is adorable and oddly motivating. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. Tactics are half the fun when nobody is shouting.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. I keep a note about routes for exactly this reason.

Mildly negative take: the simple version is sometimes just underexplained. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Great point, especially the part about shop. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a neighborhood park.

The kindness in this post is lovely. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. Recovery is training too.

The boring logistics are always the hidden part. The Cairo example makes it feel concrete.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks. Recovery is training too.
