Mark Messier was looking for a challenge after turning 50, so he followed in the footsteps of 1994 Stanley Cup champion teammates Mike Richter and Adam Graves by completing the New York City Marathon. The six-time Stanley Cup champion finished in 4 hours, 14 minutes, 21 seconds Sunday, beating Graves’ 2006 time by 13 minutes and falling short of Richter’s time of 3:54:34 set in 2007. The Hall of Famer trained intensely for seven months, running with no headphones on the roads of Greenwich, Conn., calling it an “incredible form of meditation.”
