    After losing 3 stone over most of last year through cutting down on drink and healthier eating I've recently started running regularly (4 weeks down now) and can't believe how I'm starting to look forward to my sessions. I'm training 3 mornings a week, using the Couch to 5K Podcasts and I find them a great help, really keeps me in line and helps keep the pace.

    So I want to have a 5km race to aim towards, to keep me motivated. Can anyone suggest one in Dublin around March / April time? Not looking to run a record time, just the thrill of passing the finish line will be enough for me. (If you could see a photo of me a year ago, you'd understand why!)

    Thanks
