ISS014-E-19454 (16 April 2007) --- Flashing a thumbs up sign here, astronaut Sunita L. Williams, Expedition 14 flight engineer, circled Earth almost three times as she participated in the Boston Marathon. During the race, Williams ran at about six miles per hour while flying more than five miles each second, as she completed the marathon on a station treadmill. The treadmill is called TVIS, for Treadmill Vibration Isolation System, by the crewmembers and their ground support team. Williams' official completion time was four hours, 23 minutes and 10 seconds as she completed the race at 2:24 p.m. (EDT).
