"I couldn't walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January," the "Need a Favor" singer said, adding that he felt "really, really good" about finishing the race. "I left here feeling really motivated."

"I've never felt better or healthier mentally — never felt more clear-headed," he said. "I've also never had less of an idea what was going on in the world, but I tell you what, I'm definitely not coming back before the election."
