There’s a story behind every one of the 50,000-plus runners in Sunday’s New York City Marathon. Actor Sean Astin will take part in his first New York City Marathon although he’s run a dozen marathons in other cities.He said the race will be poignant because New York was the birthplace of his mother, actress Patty Duke, who died in March.
