Kerstetter 5k Run

In 2010 Elyria Police Officer Jim Kerstetter was shot and killed while on duty. He was a really good guy. Every year since there has been a 5k run through the center of Elyria starting at the police station. This year (for some crazy reason) I decided to join in and run the race. With only a few slow downs along the way I was able to finish, and I have been sore ever since. Here are some pictures from the event.

Game face!

The whole LCSO crew.

I was amazed at how many showed up.

911 Dispatchers before the run.

There were multiple police departments in attendance and they all ran in formation first.

North Olmsted Police.

Westlake Police.

It was rough, but I made it and Sarah surprised me at the finish line.

My first medal ever as an adult!

I look forward to doing it again next year.
