Hey, I was just looking around on the net and saw that one of the miners, Edison Pena, completed the New York City marathon on November 9, 2010 in 5 hours and 40 minutes. And he's never ran a marathon before.
Holy Cow! Thats better than me, and I wasn't stuck underground for around 2 months.
Apparently, he ran 3 to 6 miles each day while underground. I guess you have to do something to keep busy!
Below is a link that has some more information.

I wanted to do my final blog as a comment to my team and all the great work that was done:) We covered so many angles of this situation that I had to give everyone a pat on the back! I honestly had nothing more to add! Lots of great info about the Chilean miners and their hardships, drama, action, and true facts! Loved the World Book of Records blog and who would of thought that this event would unite the world in such a way that for once news was good news!
Chilean Miner Meets Mistress!
This was very interesting! The Chilean miners story is truly one of the most talked about realities, however, Johnny Barrios will never be forgotten as the look on his face as he meets his mistress is classic! Who invites their wife and their mistress?!
