Ryan completes marathon
Ryan Reynolds participated and completed the New York City marathon held on Sunday. He crossed the finish line in 3 hrs 50 mins and boy, was he thrilled! "I'm still standing. I'm very excited about that. It was an incredible experience," he said.
Ryan said at an interview earlier that it was his father’s 15 year battle with Parkinson’s disease that inspired him to take on the 42 kilometre challenge, and it was memories of him and the presence of Michael J. Fox in the crowd that helped him get to the finish line. "During the race I thought a lot about my father and Michael and the 500,000 other people afflicted with this awful disease in the United States alone. I ran for those who can't... When I saw Michael J. Fox on Fifth Avenue, I gained about 15 pounds in goose bumps. It kind of pushed me through the last six miles or so."
