Yesterday we saw a couple of pics of Ryan Reynolds as he was running in the famed New York Marathon and today we get to see his hotness just as he crossed the finish line — he managed to finish the marathon race in 3 hours and 50 minutes. Amazingly, Ryan was up for talking to reporters after his grueling run and gave much moral support credit to Michael J. Fox who he saw in the crowd cheering him on (Ryan ran for Team Fox which used the marathon to raise funds for Parkinson’s Disease research):

Mission accomplished! Ryan Reynolds completed the ING New York City Marathon on Sunday – and lived to tell about it. “I’m still standing. I’m very excited about that,” he told reporters after crossing the finish line in 3 hours and 50 minutes, faster than he anticipated. “It was an incredible experience.” Reynolds says in the last leg of the race, he was motivated to keep going by one special spectator. “When I saw Michael J. Fox on Fifth Avenue, I gained about 15 pounds in goose bumps,” said Reynolds. “It kind of pushed me through the last six miles or so.” Reynolds ran for Team Fox in honor of his father, Jim Reynolds, who has suffered from Parkinson’s Disease for the past 15 years. “[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. Reynolds’s mother Tammy and brother Terry greeted him with hugs at the finish line in Central Park.

The New York Daily News managed to video their interview with Ryan Reynolds (and others) at the marathon finish line. After the jump, check it out … (more…)

Yesterday we saw a few photos of Ryan Reynolds talking to members of the media at a press conference ahead of today’s New York Marathon run … and today we have a couple pics of the man himself in action. Sweat dripping, arms pumping … Ryan sure does make runnin’ look gooood:

I understand that Ryan, who was numbered 14778, managed to complete the 26.2 mile run with a final time of 3:50:22. Sounds like a respectable time to me … and if you also consider that the man looked hawt while running this marathon, well, it sounds like a win-win situation to me. It’s unclear just how much money Ryan managed to raise on behalf of Team Fox (named for Michael J. Fox which seeks to raise funds for Parkinson’s Disease research) but I’m sure he managed to pull in some much needed funds. Well done, Ryan … we all knew you could do it! Woot!

Newlywed Ryan Reynolds, who recently got hitched to his ladylove Scarlett Johansson in a supersecret wedding in Canada in September, was on hand at Tavern on the Green in NYC yesterday to answer questions at a press conference ahead of tomorrow’s 2008 ING New York City Marathon. At yesterday’s press event, Ryan talked about why he was running in the race this year for the first time but, more importantly, was lookin’ all kids of hawt while doing so:

Among the 40,000 expected to pound the New York City Marathon’s 26.2 miles of pavement tomorrow is “Mr. Scarlett Johansson.” Actor Ryan Reynolds, a newlywed since September, is in his first marathon to raise $1 million for Team Fox’s research into Parkinson’s disease, which afflicts his dad. Reynolds called the race “26.2 miles of physical humiliation and searing psychic pain” and training for it “the purest form of hell I could ever imagine.” But despite recent bronchitis and some injuries, he waxed confident, what with Johansson among the cheering throng. “Who knows? I could be a head, a neck and a stump when I finish,” he said.

Kudos goes out to Ryan for taking on such a Herculean task like this, especially since he’s never done it before. I can’t even imagine coming close to pretending to partake in a 26+ mile run … or walk for that matter. I suspect that, with Scarlett cheering him on, Ryan will put for this best effort to help raise funds for his charity of choice. Good luck, Ryan … we’ll be cheering you on!

Happy news to report today … People magazine is reporting that Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds went and got themselves MARRIED in a “quiet” (ie. supersecret) wedding ceremony in Canada, Ryan’s home country, last night. You may recall that ScRyan confirmed that they got engaged back in May of this year after they had been dating for about a year. I, for one, am not really surprised that they did the deed in this manner (they always struck me as the sneaky types) so much congrats goes out to the happy couple today:

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds made it official with a quiet wedding this weekend, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. Reynolds’s rep also confirmed that they were married … Johansson, 23, began dating Reynolds, 31, last year shortly after his split from singer Alanis Morissette, who recently expressed well wishes on her ex’s engagement.

Altho light on deets at this point, their secret nuptials went down pretty much the way I anticipated that they would. The couple have been extremely quiet about their relationship from the very beginning. I’m sure we’ll be hearing more info soon … at least, I hope we will … it’d be just like the couple to pull a Beyoncé & Jay-Z by staying completely mum on the topic for months to come. In any event, much love and congrats goes out to the happy couple. Mazel Tov!

There are a few really cute pics of the happily engaged Scarlett Johannson and Ryan Reynolds enjoying a bit o’ PDA together as they shopped and motorcycled together here in SoCal this week making the rounds … click HERE to check ‘em out:

The newly engaged couple are obviously madly in love and couldn’t keep their hands off each other on a ride to Malibu on Ryan’s vintage Triumph motorcycle. Ryan couldn’t even wait for the young starlet to take her helmet off before leaning in to give her a long loving kiss. During the romantic trip they stopped for lunch before putting on their riding gear to head to their next destination - the shops. Scarlett went for some retail therapy at the Hidden Treasures Boutique, while Ryan chose to stay out front of the store and take a rest on his bike. The star announced her engagement to Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds earlier this year but she claims she won’t be rushing down the aisle. Speaking on the Jay Leno show, she said: “We’re just enjoying our time. We’re just recently - very recently - engaged. So … we’re just taking it easy. And no big plan yet. I mean, I’m 23. There’s no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed.”

ACK! They’re so cute, it kills me! Blah … I mean, I should be happy for ScRyan and their engagement but I kinda still harbor some resentment on Alanis Morisette’s part. I know it’s stupid and pointless but I still feel bad that things didn’t work out for her and Ryan. She may claim to be over him but I’m not … hahaha ;) I mean, I get why Ryan is head over heels for Scarlett but … meh. They look happy tho, that’s something to celebrate.
