              Edison Pena, one of the Chilean miners ran and finished the New York Marathon less than one month after surviving 69 days stuck in a mine. It took him five hours forty minutes and fifty-seven seconds to finish the race.
              Pena ran up to six miles a day in the collapsed mine. He said he did it to beat the mine, and to prove to God how much he wanted to live.Pena said he ran to motivate people, "to convince them that they can do what they set out to do in life."
