Hunched against the cold on the floor 86 of the tallest building in New York, Pena looked through binoculars at the Central Park, site of Sunday's marathon finish line.
"Very nice," she said in Spanish.
Peña was one of 33 miners rescued on October 13 after a landslide trapped about 2,300 feet underground for 69 days. To combat boredom and depression, Pena was cut steel-toed boots high on the covers and ran laps up and down a 1,000-yard rusher in the mine. He was player number 12 out of the mine.
Marathon organizers, to learn that the underground corridor, invited him to compete in the annual race for New York.
Peña, 34, is a fan of Elvis Presley, and on Thursday he sang a few lines of "Suspicious Minds" and turned on the "Late Show with David Letterman." He has accepted an invitation to visit Graceland, Presley's property in Memphis, Tennessee, and will also be moved to Las Vegas to see "Viva Elvis," a Cirque du Soleil show based on the music of Presley.
On Friday, he looked tired as braved the cold wind on top of the Empire State building in a blue windbreaker. He smiled when he greeted a visitor in Spanish.
As drivers he raced through the lobby of the Empire State Building Art Deco style, which he described New York as "beautiful" and said the terms had not done so despite their dramatic underground time.
Asked if the other miners could be jealous of your trip, Pena said simply: "I do not know."
