Lilac Festival 5k

On the closing day of the Lilac Festival, I along with my best friend ran my first ever 5k! With a background of Track and Field, you would think I wouldn’t be nervous to run in a race but I had butterflies in my stomach! After the race began I used the 3 mile race to parallel my quest for the job of Miss New York and loved both the ups and the downs of the long stretched road ahead. The focus and determination helped me to finish the race in just 32 minutes! Not bad for my first time! I was so exhilarated and proud of my finish I did a happy dance at the finish line! J I am thrilled to have promoted my platform of a healthy and active lifestyle and lead by example in one of Rochester’s most acclaimed races!
