Binside TV: RYAN REYNOLDS

Ryan Reynolds is the latest celebrity jumping on the triathalon marathon express. Katie Holmes kicked off the trend when she ran the New York Marathon last year while listening to Kanye West's "Stronger" on her "illegal/prohibited" ipod.

Jennifer Lopez trained and competed in a charity Triathalon chronicled by Self Magazine to show off her post baby bod. Matt Damon just competed the Boston Triathalon on October 5th.

All of Matt Damon's action films have finally paid of, as the actor took part in the Escape to Miami Triathlon on Sunday morning (October 5). According to reports, the 38-year-old "Bourne Ultimatum" hunk’s brother Kyle, who managed to take 27th place with a time of 2:23:40, talked him into participating in the event. source

Now actor Ryan Reynolds is running the NYC marathon after he just married actress Scarlett Johannson. Watch JLo explain on Good Morning America why she wanted to kick the endorphins into high gear and get some exercise. A triathalon is the ultimate celebrity photo opportunity without a supporting cast.

A couple of years ago, I walked uptown to Central Park on one of those perfect November days. The air had a bite to it while the sun shone bright. It was the day of the New York Marathon and I thought it might be fun to watch the runners nearing the finish line. So, I joined the crowd about a half-mile before the race's end at Tavern On The Green. With my arms resting on the cold cordon, I saw an incredible spectacle of people pushed to the very brink of collapse. I expected exhaustion, but what I didn't expect was to see just how much these runners had to EARN their prize. It was emotional. The pain was etched into their faces so deeply, you'd swear they'd spend the next 3 weeks looking like Abe Vigoda. I saw guys coming in to finish with bleeding nipples. Why in the hell were their nipples bleeding? People were crying. People were limping, hobbling, screaming, crawling. But most importantly, people were experiencing a sublime rapture that I couldn't even hope to understand. They were touching something magical no stalk-still mortal simply watching the race could comprehend. These people had accomplished something real. At that moment, with all the energy, inspiration and passion swirling through the crisp autumnal air, I breathed in deeply and decided something: I'd never fucking do that ever, ever. What in the fuck were these idiots thinking? Bleeding nipples. Bleeding. Nipples. source
