A Massapequa Park man completed the New York City Marathon over the weekend just three years after he had a massive heart attack.

Vince Feola, 52, had five stents put into his heart during that health scare.

He told News 12 he wanted to run the 26.2 mile run in under seven hours. He exceeded his own expectation and finished in just five hours and 31 minutes.
