Chilean Miners

D'oh!

Now I read in the Times that the miner who ran every day in the mine -- Edison Pena -- has agreed to run the N.Y. Marathon on Sunday, though given his rather unusual preparation he says he might Gallo-walk part of it... Under the circumstances it'll be brilliant just to have him there.

Maybe The NYRRC will let him take a shortcut and run thru the Midtown Tunnel

When I call "SET" you will come to your final starting position , remain motionless and wait for the gun -I WILL hold you!

I've gotta say, singing in a language you don't speak in front of an audience of millions (million?) takes guts. It's good to see a sense of fun after a trial like he's been through.

For the miners, coming up through that long narrow tube, headfirst into the sunlight ... it really WAS kind of a rebirth...
