Besides Baby Bjorn dogs and doggy healthcare, NYC was all about the 42nd annual NYC Marathon today. Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya won the men's race, breaking the previous record by over a minute-and-a-half, and Firehiwot Dado of Ethiopia won the women's race. One person had an apparent heart attack, and one couple even got married while running! Watch video of those crazy, middle-aged lovebirds below:
Not exactly what we'd call "romantic," but definitely memorable! You can see more videos from runners and from the sidelines here. Below, check out more videos from today, including one featuring the Ray Mantilla Quintet performing at the Duke Ellington Circle at 5th Avenue and 110th Street around noon today.
