She did it! Woman runs marathon in space

We first heard about her plans earlier this month, and now Sunita Williams has done it! She successfully ran the Boston Marathon in space yesterday, finishing the 26.2 miles in 4 hours 23 minutes and 46 seconds (or the equivalent of 6,300th place of 7,600 contenders).

This story really takes fitness and determination to a whole new level! I think for most of us who commonly use reasons like "I'm tired" and "I'm too busy," the excuse "I'll be in outer space" is a legitimate one. If not being on the planet isn't a good enough reason to skip a workout, then what is?

I'm with Bethany on this one, after hearing this story pretty much all excuses sound totally lame!

Good for you Sunita, way to go.
