I hated running all my life. Then fate intervened, and since I didn’t have much opportunity for other forms of exercise, I started running in the forest during chemo - got that biweekly - first week was about survival, on the resting weeks I ran two-three times, 3-4kms. Then the habbit stayed - I loved the forest before, and I thought that if I could go out during chemo, then rain/mud/cold wouldn’t be able to hold me back. And indeed it can’t. The next year I kept the same pace - two small circles a week -, but then covid hit, we went home office, and I started increasing the distances and pace.

It’s interesting to look back and see that in the beginning I ran my 3-4 km tracks at the same pace as the 50+ km Vérmókus I ran recently.
