Runner hit by car during Florida half-marathon, dies days later

A 74-year-old man who was hit by a car while running in the Florida Half Marathon on Feb. 8 has died, officials said. Friends and fellow runners remembered AJ Swann as an avid runner, golfer, and a business man.  According to The Florida Marathon, AJ had completed 9 marathons, 30 half-marathons, and "scored" of 5K and 10K races during his running career. "AJ was a great guy; he always had a smile on his face," said fellow runner, Orrie McCrea. "He was a great encourager, very inquisitive, thoughtful." McCrea and Swann were in the same running club, Golden Isles Track Club, in Georgia, where Swann lived.
