Update!
The New York marathon happened over the weekend. Noted celebrity participants (usually the only ones I care about) were 90s icon Alanis Morissette, the guy who played Dr. Green on ER, and thinking woman's heartthrob Edward Norton, who finished with a legitimate athlete's 3:48:01. Also, people you probably haven't heard of, but who are famous in the Runner's Universe, spent less time running their 26.1 miles than it takes me to make a sandwich.
But the real news is that "proudly average" has triumphed over Hollywood. Personal challenge-setter (and Cereal Monogamist commenter!) Tim Reid successfully trounced Ryan Reynolds' race time by 11 whole minutes, coming in at 3:38:46.
See confirmation of Reid's race time here and his site here. He deserves hearty congratulations, both for meeting his personal goal and for raising a bunch of money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation. And also because he visited my blog, and so I consider him my close friend.
Eat a pizza and put your feet up, Tim! You deserve it.
