At first, it just sounds silly. Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams plans to run the 26.2 mile Boston Marathon April 16, 2007 on a treadmill while aboard the International Space Station. Yes, at fisrt it just sounds silly. Then you realize it is the ISS, after all, so it is not as if she has anything better to do.
