Among the finishers in the women's 5k at the Turtle Creek Run were sisters and walkers Agnes Ellsworth 82, and Louise Davis, 88. The two native Texans clocked 42:56 and 54:37 respectively to place first and second in the 75-up age group.

"I've been doing this forever," said Louise, commenting on how long she'd been walking.

"I started walking when I lived in New York in 1967," said Agnes, "that was long before it was popular. I did lots of miles. People thought I was out of my mind."

"We just walk 5ks," said Louise, "occasionally we might do 5 miles."

"But no 10ks," added Agnes, "it would be dark by the time we finished."
