Al Roker successfully walks entire half-marathon: 'I did that!'

The TODAY weatherman and Third Hour co-host joined thousands of athletes in Brooklyn, New York City on Saturday to complete the 13.1 mile race. Videos and photos show Al, and he said he maintained a pace of 15 minutes and 14 seconds per mile, setting a personal record for himself.

"There is a sense of accomplishment," he said."It's like, 'Wow, this is something 22,000 people did. Not everybody can do it.' And you do feel like, 'Oh, OK, I did that!'" has been well-documented, but he said about a year ago, he was inspired to try to run the New York City Marathon. While he wasn't in shape to do that at the time, it inspired him to start training with an app called Target 100, which sets users up with a virtual coach and helps them develop a personalized program."No shade to people who run! ... I've got two knee replacements, I've got a hip replacement. Walking is a lot easier," Al said.

Why no mention of the runner that died?
