My First 5K Race
by Cass Lin · May 2026
My aunt signed us up for a neighborhood 5K run. For three weeks I trained every before school, even when it rained.
On race day, hundreds of people gathered at the start line. When the horn blew, my legs felt shaky and light at the same time.
The last kilometer was brutal. But I kept my eyes on my aunt's bright yellow shirt ahead. I finished in 32 minutes, totally and completely happy.
