The longest run this summer - apart from the marathon. I took a day off to do this, as I got my timings wrong, and didn't want to wait until the weekend - too close to the marathon.

Felső-Göd down to Alsó-Göd, going by the golf course. Across the plain to Dunakeszi, then over into Fót. Then through the forest and fields to Csomád. Then through more fields and forest to the edge of Vácrátot - by the side of the botanical gardens. Stupid dog wanted to attack me there. They are building a Vácrátot Héviz - interesting!

Through to Tece and the edge of Sződ. I had to stop before reaching Felső-Göd. I was too tired. However  I had taken a detour, so was close to my target of 35km.

The time is a  bit slow, but given the mud and sand and puddles I had to avoid on the run, this is not too bad. Plus two hills in the middle hurt me. These things won't happen on the flat Budapest marathon.

So looking good for the Budapest marathon. Today made me realise the target needs to be 4 hours.

Now to reduce the km before the big day and arrive in good shape!
