To stay healthy, I’ve been running three times a week for a few years now. When I first attempted to run, after living a couch / couch-adjacent life, I failed miserably. I got exhausted in, like, 20 seconds and quit. What worked for me was an app called C25K, which tricked my body into thinking I could run by asking me to run first in small bursts, then in longer and longer bursts, until I could actually do it. The thing I like most about running is that it gives me a chance to catch up on podcasts.

I’m a chicken. I value life over dignity. So I ordered warp speed and (thankfully) managed to keep it together, although I did puke in private. Anyway, I lived and kept my captain gig!

As for staying healthy, I’m a big fan of long (6 miles or more) walks up hill. I also do yoga (badly).

Job on a space ship? Oh man, I was gonna say bartender too! Since that job is taken, I’m going with stowaway. The only other job I’m qualified for is red shirt, and like I said, I’m chicken. 🐓
