1. Stability or "Establish a routine"
- No Problemo! I live in the same place with no major changes in sight, so establishing a routine shouldn't be a problem. Then I get 10 days notice that the whole family needs to re-locate 400+ to the North for a new job. There goes rule #1.
- Now this I can do, upon my sisters recommendation I bought the following book
I read it, several times. Then I bought this neat-o gadget to help me keep track of what I was doing
But I needed this to use it
So I got it. I also got some shoes along the way & thanks to a phone upgrade, got this to make running even cooler
Then because my used jogging stroller began to really pull to the left, I got a new, not bought from the classifieds, jogging stroller.
Fast forward to a few weeks later at about 8am on a Tuesday morning when I'm trying to get Moosh ready for her 2 year check up & she proceeds to drop a full, heavy can on my left foot. One toenail, several nasty bruises & two boxes of band-aids later, I hobble to her dr appointment only to have her Pediatrician tell me, "that's broken & I bet it hurts."
I can barely walk, but I'm still determined to mentally stay in the game, so thanks to a super generous husband, I get these (along with a surprise subscription to "fitness" magazine that I still have no idea where it came from, but thanks whoever you are!)
Today I used them for what I hope will be the first of many runs & loved it. I'm not going to win any races, but hopefully I won't be passed by anymore women 8+ months pregnant with twins.
Here is where I need you dear readers (all one of you) to help me prepare for step #3. Do you want to know how my training is going? Do you care or is it more mindless chatter? Do you want to know where I start at & what progress I'm making or would you rather just say "congratulations" at the end?
You tell me & with your help, I may just make it to step #3!
