Race Report: Women Together 5K, November 13, 2010

The annual Women Together 5K race took place this morning in Carbondale, Illinois in beautiful Evergreen Park. The morning was a bit chilly and the course was a bit slick from an earlier rainstorm, but that didn't stop the runners and walkers from taking on the challenge of 3.1 miles. Women of all shapes and sizes tested themselves against the course on the edge of the Carbondale campus.
After the race, lovely food and drink (cider anyone?) was available to all the runners, walkers, and friends!
