However, these men and women weren't running short lengths at all. To be able to actually complete a marathon is remarkable. To do so in record time is amazing.
Marathons sit at around 26 miles. I still can't believe there are those out there who could do the race in two to two and a half hours.
The New York City Marathon takes place tomorrow. On the eve of the race, contenders are resting getting ready to make their mark on marathon history.
Among tomorrow's runners are a Chilean miner named Edison Pena, who trained for the marathon by running through the tunnels in the mine while trapped. In addition, the world record marathon holder for men, an Ethiopian named Gebrselassie. All eyes will be trained on the record holders tomorrow, and the Chilean miner.
What are your thoughts on the NYC marathon tomorrow?
Go Peña!!! Go Peña!!! Go Peña!!!
