Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya, the defending New York City Marathon champion, was the winner of Sunday's NYC Half Marathon.

Mutai finished the course in one hour, 50 seconds. Britain's Mo Farah came in second, recovering after tripping up at the five mile mark.

Sally Kipyego was the women's winner, at a time of one hour, 8 minutes and 31 seconds. Ethiopian Bizunesh Deba was second and American Molly Huddle was third.

20,000 runners took part in the race, which looped around Central Park before heading downtown through Times Square to Lower Manhattan.

So, I'm guessing with Spring on the way your breathing problems will be worse when the flowers and trees are covered in pollen. Are you able to manage that easily?
