Where is Kikima, Kenya?

It's near here:Kikima itself isn't on google maps! I had to search a nearby village. (Image via google maps)

As you can see, it's at a pretty high elevation. It's around 1600m above sea level. To compare, Toronto is about 133m above sea level (source). The highest mountain in Canada, Mount Logan, is 850 feet above sea level (source) and Mount Everest is 8848m above sea level (source).

That's good for me because it means the weather isn't as hot, and it means there will be less mosquitoes. That's bad for me, because I'll have to acclimatize to the lower air density. That's good for me, because I'll come back and be an amazing runner.
