Chilean miner takes to streets for NYC Marathon
None
A Chilean miner who jogged miles (kilometers) underground while waiting to be rescued joined some of the world's best marathoners and thousands of other runners in the New York City Marathon on Sunday.
"First, I want to run this marathon, but secondly, I'd like to motivate those people who aren't running the marathon to do so in the future," Edison Pena said before the race through a translator, jumping up and down to warm up. "I also want to especially motivate young children and youth to run because running makes you free." (AP)
