Final countdown...

It's race day!! As I lay here thinking of what's ahead I realize I forgot to post my last training run. It was a good one. I hit the streets for a last little round to try & settle my nerves on Tuesday, 4-28-15. I did the walk/run program I'm young during the race & I was pleasantly surprised!! My time was much lower than it's ever been. That's exciting but I'm still VERY nervous & anxious. 

This run was dedicated to Kentucky State Police Trooper Johnny Gordon Adkins. On 11-19-95 Trooper Adkins was involved in a fight during an arrest. During the fight, he suffered a chest injury and died from a heart attack five days later. He was a great, involved father who helped coach sports teams. He was a very social person & enjoyed having lots of people around. 

He left behind his wife & son who still misses him but smiles at the memories. He was 37 years old & gave 6 years in service. God bless his family & thank you for his service.
