Runners in Spaaace - check in post

Right - sorry guys, I disappeared headfirst into work last week and failed to update as we go along. Will do better this week (once I get my appraisal out of the way tomorrow - eek!).

Anyway - on to the updates:

Which means that currently we're in Lafayette, Louisiana which is home of the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra, the Ragin' Cajuns sports teams (yes, really) and the Hub City Diner, which I know nothing about but has cheeseburgers on the breakfast menu.

So nearly 15 days on the ISS so far - we'll just be getting used to sleeping while floating, running while tethered on bungee cords and eating chocolate pudding cake with a really long spoon.

Overachiever of the Week Award goes to [personal profile] linaelyn - 100% of active hours target already - five days on the ISS completed!

I should also say - if we meet the active hours target, anything extra will count as EVA. So we can get to camp out overnight in an airlock (to reduce the chance of getting the bends from the difference in air pressure), put on our spacesuits (including possibly the coolest sun visor of all time) and venture out into the black...

And finally, something I never thought about but now worries me - trimming your nails in space...

I need one of those air intake vents for my fingernail clipping, here on Earth, because clearly my bedroom wastebasket is one giant REPULSOR FIELD for keratin! *peetewwww*

I sure didn't feel like an overachiever, last week! I hardly ran at all. So this week, I tried to make up the running miles (partially successful), and skimped on the other active time.

Total running miles for April: 28 miles (20 new)
Total active hours for April: 10 hours (zero new)
