Wednesday November 04 2009
It took Zoe Koplowitz 28 hours and 45 minutes to finish this year's New York City Marathon.
The 61-year-old motivational speaker lives with diabetes and multiple sclerosis and has finished 21 New York Marathons.
Ruth Brenner, president of the city's chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, presented Koplowitz with the medal given to all athletes who cross the marathon's finish line.
Ethiopian runner Derartu Tulu won the women's marathon title on Sunday in the slightly better time of two hours, 28 minutes and 52 seconds.
