Ryan Reynolds completes NYC marathon

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds said he was happy to still be standing after completing the ING New York City Marathon Sunday.

The 32-year-old film star is known for his roles in "Blade: Trinity," "Van Wilder," "Just Friends," "Smokin' Aces" and "Definitely, Maybe." He is married to actress Scarlett Johansson.

"I'm still standing. I'm very excited about that," People.com said Reynolds told reporters after he finished the marathon in 3 hours and 50 minutes. "It was an incredible experience. ... 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."

Reynolds ran as part of Team Fox, which was named for the Canadian-born former "Family Ties" and "Spin City" star who has Parkinson's Disease. Reynolds' father Jim also suffers from the illness.

"(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," Reynolds told People.com.
