Haiti Earthquake Recovery

Haiti The Runner In this Jan. 7, 2013 photo, Astrel Clovis, a 42-year-old marathon runner, trains in the early morning in Petionville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Like virtually all Haitians in the capital of 3 million, the runner's life was disrupted by the catastrophic earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010. But a month later he was back on the streets, resuming his routine along with the rest of the country. Six days a week, the rail-thin athlete sets off at daybreak. Clovis has run the hills and streets of Port-au-Prince for the past 10 years. He decided to take the sport seriously after he entered a race in downtown Port-au-Prince on a whim - and won.

Haiti The Runner In this Jan. 7, 2013 photo, Astrel Clovis, a 42-year-old marathon runner, stretches his leg muscles outside his home in Petionville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Like virtually all Haitians in the capital of 3 million, the runner's life was disrupted by the catastrophic earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010. Before the quake, he shared a three-bedroom house with his aunt and cousins, and dreamed of running his first marathon. The quake destroyed that house, along with about 100,000 homes across the capital and southern Haiti. The government put the death toll at 316,000, but no one knows how many people died. Clovis was lucky. He didn't lose any relatives, or close friends - or his marathon dreams. (AP Photo/Dieu Nalio Chery)
