The February issue of Runners World has a wonderful collection of stunning and inspiring photographs of 2005 NYC Marathon finishers. I highly recommend checking it out online, where the photos are accompanied by audio recordings of the runners telling their stories, or in print, where you can better appreciate the photos themselves.

this is one of the most awesome pictoral projects i have ever seen. i photocopied the one of the old man who calls himself an ‘old fart.’ i laugh and tear up every time i think about it, it’s very inspiring to me.
