3K in 29 minutes.

[Comte]

I taken up running as recommended by my physiotherapist after many physio sessions from a serious leg injury. Can now do 3K in 29 minutes whereas 12 weeks ago when I started running I could only run slowly a few metres. Don't how to graduate on anything on this site but I am looking forward to trying and improving.
