One of the 32 Chilean miners that was trapped beneath the earth for 69 days wanted to run in the NYC Marathon. His name was Edison Pena. He said that he ran up to 6 miles a day around the tunnels of the mine. He ran in his huge mining boots which caused him to have a slightly hurt knee. He said he was motivated by the spectators to keep running even though he felt a lot of pain towards the middle of the race. He eventually finished the 26.2 mile race in just under 6 hours.
