An enforced rest before the marathon
Unexpected situations always happen – especially when you put yourself into something new, where you don’t yet know how you’ll react. My right ankle has now decided: “Fruzsi, thanks, that’s enough – I’m checking out for a bit.” Unfortunately, it developed an inflammation that made running painful just 3 weeks before the marathon. I’ve been resting it for over a week now, while strengthening it in other ways, hoping that by race day I’ll be fully recovered. This week I’ve managed a few short test runs, which give me hope: maybe in a week I won’t just be able to start, but also make it to the finish line. I wanted to share with you where I’m at right now. I truly hope I’ll be able to run the full 42 km. If not, that’s not a failure – it simply means I’ll complete it at another race.

During the equestrian program, children have the opportunity to build strong focus and a meaningful bond with an animal in a safe setting. In the process, they not only gain confidence in riding but also learn more about themselves. Meanwhile, through the fun games of the horse-assistant ...
Miracle-Working Locations at Bátor Tábor (Part 1)
🌞 At Bátor Tábor, there are so many special locations that make the camp truly unique. At every program site, volunteers stand ready to help campers gain lifelong experiences through adventures and games. Every single program will be with me during my run — because each one is worth running the marathon for. 🪖 There’s the Courage Program, for example, where on a high ropes course, children discover just how much they are capable of — even at such heights. 🏹 Hidden among the dense trees is the archery range. Here, campers can truly experience that they can reach their goals — they ...
