Plymouth resident Cathy Schmidt, one of the co-founders of Women Run the Cities, wasn’t really joking when she said she never thought she’d be able to run down her block, let alone run a 5K race. A few pairs of running shoes and more than a few miles on the path at French Regional Park later, Schmidt is proud to have completed her first 10K (6.2-mile) race last spring and plans to graduate from the 5K and run in the Women Run the Cities 10-mile race September 23 at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis.
