ATLANTA — This year's AJC Peachtree Road Race will once again include Betty Lindberg, a 97-year-old who vows that every Peachtree is her last, but keeps coming back. There was a time when Betty Lindberg thought her beloved city of Atlanta had lost its mind. The crowd sweating its way down Peachtree on the 4th of July made no sense to her. 'You had a holiday,' said Lindberg. 'Why get up at the crack of dawn and go running down Peachtree Road?' Now, she's a big part of the insanity. In 1988, her daughter and son-in-law asked her for a ride to the starting line of the Peachtree Road Race near Lenox Mall.
