Trotting like a Turkey

Last week was my six week recovery mark. "They" all said it would take a full six week recovery to really feel great. They were right.
Around that six week mark, things started happening.
I started to feel amazing!
LIKE SO GOOD!!

So Good, I might have gotten carried away and signed myself up for a

5K on Thanksgiving morning!

I don't even know who I am anymore!

I know this is nothing special to the majority of you marathon runners, but this is new for me and I am excited.

So, I decided I had better start training.

Today I ran around the block.

 Well, I actually walked and then ran. I was home in five minutes and Bryant said "wow, that was fast!" 
easy buddy.

But the point is that I ran and where I used to hurt (where that big ol' uterus was) did not hurt. yay for that!

But a few other things did hurt.

 And I think I need to go shopping for some more support. 

The support you can buy, if you catch my drift. 

Another issue I am having is my running shoes give me blisters the size of... well, the size of really big blisters.

So, you runners out there, can you give me some good advice?

Here is what I need help with.

1. Support (I wore two sport you -know- whats and it still did not do the job)

2. running shoes. is there one pair that is better than the other?

3. I want to put a good running app on my phone that tracks my pace, what one should I get?

I've got seven weeks people, to go from walk/running around the block to running a 5k. 

I'm getting a side ache just thinking about it!
