Last week most of us were glued to our TV (or whatever) screens watching the Chilean Miners get rescued one by one. Of course being a runner myself, a certain tidbit caught my-one of the miners, Edison Pena, won up to 6 miles a day while listening to Elvis. This is pretty awesome feat but that is not I am focusing on.
The coolest part of this story, is that the New York Road Runners were smart enough to gain some PR from this by inviting him to run the New York City Marathon. I for one truly believe that anytime a marathon or any running event can get into the mainstream news as positive news item it should be done. Congrats to Mary Wittenburg and her staff for this smart move.
