Most people train for the New York City Marathon above ground, in sneakers, after years of working up to marathon distance. Edison Peña trained thousands of feet underground, in boots he sawed the ankles off of. And he still finished.

Edison Pena, one of the 33 men trapped inside a mine in Chile, made an overwhelmingly enjoyable appearance on last night's Late Show. Despite having to speak through an interpreter, he managed to be funny and perform an Elvis impression.
