Crazy weekend with the tornado that hit Atlanta!!! I hope and pray that everybody is OK. Here's a nice little comment I read on the AJC.com's health section from an avid runner. Reporter Adrianne Murchison is writing a great series about her trials and tribulations in training for the Atlanta ING Marathon:
On Saturday, Blogger John Tackett posted:
“Well this morning, at 4:30 a.m., despite the damage to downtown Atlanta, I did an 18 mile run from my home in East Point to my office in Buckhead. Got a little wet when the rain came through about 6 a.m., and it was eerie to run down the middle of Peachtree (and I mean the middle of the street) in downtown and not encounter traffic. Only other people I saw downtown were police, clean-up workers, and lots of homeless folks.
There was a local news crew there and they reporter yelled out at me, “Why in the world are I running after all that happened last night?” My response, “Despite what mother nature throws at us, we as humans need to get back into our daily routines as soon as possible.”
