V - That's great for a first run. Nice pacing and 3 miles is a good training run. If you add a mile a week you'll be at Oly distance in only a month!! I would stick to 2 to 3 mile runs once or twice per week and one longer run on the weekend, adding 10 to 12 min (that works out to about 1 mile) each weekend.
Have fun and I hope that you're not too sore. It's not easy to run in the hills.

GREAT JOB!
Shoot, I've been running steady since Nov 06 (3.5 months) and I ran 3 miles in 34 minutes today- on a treadmill! Your run was much harder I am sure.
Looks like you are going to be a speed demon.

Welcome to the dark side!
You may not be all that sore. I never got sore at all last fall when I started running again. Fatigued legs, yes. Sore, not really. You're already so strong, I'm sure you'll be popping off 8 minute miles in no time!
