48
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:30,959
since i was a scout growing up at south

49
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:32,560
texas boy scout and loved getting

50
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:33,920
outside and doing the camping and all

51
00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:35,760
that kind of stuff and to me you know

52
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:37,280
when i get out here

53
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:39,519
and i feel like i'm home

54
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:41,440
and i love running in places like this

55
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:43,280
because it's just such a great

56
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:45,040
experience

57
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:47,200
and for me the thought of i mean this is

58
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:48,800
part of my mental health program if you

59
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:50,959
will i'm locking in memories right now

60
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:53,280
so when i live on the space station for

61
00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:55,040
almost six months and i'm running on a

62
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,959
treadmill up there

63
00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,560
i just gotta think that's gonna get kind

64
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:00,239
of boring i don't like running on a

65
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:03,040
treadmill in a gym on the ground

66
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:05,280
and so what i'm trying to do out here is

67
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,879
lock in those memories

68
00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:08,480
just lock in what it feels like to be

69
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:10,879
running to feel the breeze coming over

70
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,680
you

71
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:13,760
to feel the sun shining down

72
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:18,949
the smells

73
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:21,440
you know of earth

74
00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:22,400
dirt

75
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,630
so when i'm up there

76
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:32,640
you know i can bring back these memories

77
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:34,480
i could be on the treadmill plodding

78
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:35,360
along

79
00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:37,840
and then come just close my eyes

80
00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:40,159
and say imagine okay i'm back in the
