New Girl

Hey hey hey. I saw an ad for a 5k in austin today and thought I'd look into it more. My father is an accomplished marathon runner, and I have recently laced up and gone for it. I have a goal in mind, I want to run 3 miles. Run, the whole way, then I will feel happy with life. I am a complete novice, and any advice would be great. I run in my housing community, a 1.5 mi loop. When I say I run it, I mean I run every couple of blocks, and then stop. Anyone in Kyle looking for a running buddy let me know. Thanks
