Michael Sayih has cerebral palsy, a brain disorder that affects his mobility and requires him to use a wheelchair, but his athletic resume exceeds that of most people.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Jan. 25, the 33-year-old was one of 20,000 runners from across the globe who took their place at the Life Time Miami Marathon\u2019s<\/a> start line, finishing the half-marathon in just over two hours.<\/p>\n

Under his belt are also Ironman triathlons and paddleboarding crossings from the Bahamas to Florida.<\/p>\n

The secret to this year\u2019s marathon success? \u201cPower buddy\u201d, Claire Holt pushing him every step of the way. \u201c<\/p>\n

All I keep hearing in my head over and over since the race is (Michael) laughing … (our team) laughing and singing and cheering, and everyone supporting and giving high-fives and clearing the way,\u201d said the 37-year-old Australian actress. \u201cAnd I still have goosebumps thinking about what that experience was like.\u201d<\/p>\n
