"You're going to crush it," she said. The astronaut then navigated her way to a harness where she strapped on her bib number and prepared to run her race on a treadmill in space.
"It's going to be sort of crappy but I know it's going to be hard for you guys, too," Williams said. "That race is tough. There's a lot of twists, a lot of turns, a lot of up and downhill, then you're in the cooker next to the coast. But it's going to be great. It's going to be awesome."
Williams called the Falmouth Road Race "amazing" for the money it raises for the community and praised everyone participating. Her sister, she said, works for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and lives in the area with her family.
"So we've been part of the Falmouth community for a long time," Williams said, adding that she was "just happy to be a part of all this that's going on."
