Chilean miner Edison Pena said Monday he is ready to tackle more races and continue making "a positive impact on the world" after completing the Tokyo Marathon in a personal-best time the previous day.
Pena was one of the 33 Chilean miners trapped in the San Jose mine in August and eventually rescued two months later. The 35-year-old earned his nickname "the Runner" for jogging through the mine's tunnels during the ordeal and was the 12th miner to be rescued.
The Chilean finished the Tokyo Marathon in five hours, eight minutes and 19 seconds. About a month after the dramatic rescue, he completed the New York City Marathon in five hours, 40 minutes and 51 seconds.
