Pure joy to run Munich Marathon mostly rainy and windy, around Gothic monuments and endless parks, the city of real calm driving. With steady pace I finished in 3 hours 53 minutes, getting ready for the last Marathon of my challenge in four weeks in Athens; mind to be there.

Happy Marathon running around the heavy heroic history of Warsaw, through beautiful huge avenues and Vistula river bridges and a fast start (not a sustainable pace though) and nice finish at 3 hours and 46 minutes. Two more Marathons to go. #georgeyannis georgeruns30x30.com
