Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes decided that the time was right to return to the spotlight, following months of laying low after their affair

The former GMA3 co-hosts announced on Instagram at the end of August that they would be taking part once again in the New York Marathon, which is taking place at the beginning of November. 

This is an event very close to the couple's heart, as this time last year they were training together.

In fact, T.J. was rather concerned ahead of his first ever race, and even shared an honest Instagram update days before taking part, admitting he was concerned and anxious about the race as he had an injury, but nonetheless, was also excited. 

He wrote: "That is not a look of determination. It’s one of concern. This was my last run before the #nycmarathon. I have an IT band issue on my left leg. Concerned to the point that it’s giving me anxiety. At this point, it’s about pain management. But I’m ABSOLUTELY EXCITED about the #nycmarathon!"
