Even if you've trained for a marathon for months and are at the top of your game, a little extra motivation to make it to the finish line never hurts. Case in point: Kelly Roberts, the woman behind #HottGuysOfTheNYCHalf, who managed to snap 20 selfies with unsuspecting attractive men along the TCS New York City Marathon route this past weekend.
Not only were the results hilarious to see, but they also helped her power through to the end. "Because of the selfies, I didn’t spend any time worrying about how much farther I had to go," says Kelly. "I was worrying about being silly and making people laugh instead."
She definitely succeeded there. Check out just a few of our favorites:

This guy might be cute, but Kelly says her dream selfie race partners are Andy Sandberg, Bill Hader, and Jimmy Fallon. "I mean, I love a serious hottie selfie, but it’s the ones who are in on the joke or being equally as silly about it that are my favorites," she says. "Hot guys are great, but funny guys are greater."

Ironically enough, even after running an entire marathon, Kelly's cheeks are the sorest part of her body today, thanks to that strong selfie game.

Which selfie was Kelly's personal favorite? One that doesn't have a hottie in it at all.

"I spent the last three miles of the course fighting tears," she says. "I was so overwhelmed by the spectators, especially those screaming my name… It brought on a tidal wave of emotions."
