Video Diary! Mario Lopez Runs NYC Marathon
"Extra's" healthy host Mario Lopez keeps in great shape! Lopez traveled to The Big Apple for the 2011 ING NYC Marathon and kept a video diary to document the experience.
Fellow runner and former speedskater Apolo Ohno was also there to pound the pavement, and after the run he noted, "I went from short, ballistic-type one-and-a-half minute training to something that lasts 3 hours, 24 minutes longer. The last 6.2 miles are gruesome, my body isn't designed for this." Impressively, Ohno finished the race in 3 hours, 25 minutes and earned a $26,200 donation from Subway for the Special Olympics.
Former "Survivor" winner Ethan Zohn participated in the race and completed his second marathon, despite battling Hodgkin's lymphoma. Zohn, who finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes, said, "I'm feeling good!"
Four hours and twenty minutes later, Lopez completed the 26.2-mile run around the five boroughs, and proudly said, "Oh look! I get a medal and everything! I love it. I want to make it an annual thing!"
