Runner Martha Nall (Tim's sister of Camp Point, IL) -- runs in chilly Half-Marathon at Alton, IL

ALTON - People run races for all sorts of reasons.

For most of them, running is a lifestyle; it's what they do for a living, fun and their health, and they enter every race they can. Other people might enter a race to prove to themselves and others that they can finish the race, even when they are blind. For those reasons and more, runners took part in Saturday's inaugural Alton Half-Marathon and 5k Run/Walk, despite cold and windy conditions (March 26, 2011).
