How to (not) prepare to make a big change

I have always seemed to go about things backwards, and this venture is no exception.  Here is a list of how I went about it, feel free to take all advice with a grain of salt (unless it makes sense, then feel free to use it)

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. 

2.  Prepare to train or "spend heaps of money"

• 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!
