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.
