It\u2019s dark. It\u2019s 5:45 a.m. but it might as well be the middle of the night. Runners are sleepily congregating in the parking lot behind the Salvation Army in downtown Atlanta. Some of them emerge from the building, others from cars. Grouped together, you can\u2019t tell who spent the night in the shelter and who spent the night in the comfort of their own home. Everyone is in running clothes. Everyone is tired. Everyone is tired except for Hannah Chappell-Dick. And if she is, she hides it well.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta Track Club Elite team member is coordinating the weekly Back on My Feet<\/a> run for local homeless men and women. She arrives with the enthusiasm and excitement she brings to the start line of a professional race. She hugs everyone, leads them in prayer then guides them on a run.<\/p>\n
