Running for the Astronauts
Stephanie Turner, who helped train the seven Columbia space shuttle astronauts who perished in a re-entry accident in 2003, is running the 2005 Houston Marathon in their honor.
"We have often talked about the whole process of life and even the process of grieving not being a race to the swift but being a marathon," said Dr. Jonathan Clark, a NASA flight surgeon and the widower of Laurel Clark, a member of the Columbia crew. "You have to pace yourself and draw upon all your reserves. Now, it seems, there really is a marathon to bring that home. It's a wonderful tribute."
