So i did my first race today, it was only 3km but I have to start somewhere. The Green Park challenge is the short race before the Reading half, and we also finish in the stadium so the atmosphere was amazing. I am so pleased I did and I will do it again next year.

3k is a great distance! Top notch for speed building, and a good one to do if you're pushed for time.

Well done for your first race, and I love your medal. Races are a bit addictive so you'll be hooked from here on in

Oooh nice medal and good work. I'd love a 3k race - it's my favorite distance to run.

Well done! Nice bling! Who cares that 'it's only 3km' you bothered to work towards it and take part, and you completed it, good for you! First of many, you'll need one of those rack things for your medal collection before you know it!

Nice bit of bling and your out there doing it which is better than being stuck on the couch. I find 3km tough so well done

Thanks guys. 3k was the perfect distance for me at the moment, and a practice run for 5k Race for Life I have in July.
