Csilla, Matt, and I ran the Budapest Half Marathon this morning. It is much more fun doing a race with friends! Csilla speaks Hungarian, too, so I wasn’t lost like last year.

If you were a fast Hungarian (finished the race in less than 90 minutes), Nike gave you a nice, red running shirt. If you were a fast foreigner you got nothing but the race shirt. I was neither, so my race shirt will have to do.

My net time this year, 1:35:46, was faster than last year, so I accomplished my goal. That’s me below, in the sunglasses, just before the finish line.

Finish Line

Tomorrow morning Tom and I are off to Kiev to meet Alex.
