Today I'm frustrated as I want to blog about my mommy life, but I have these two seperate blogs. I don't have any idea why I seperated them. I think, because I was persuing the fitness and figure "thing" and it was so different from my triathlon life.
I bought a domain a couple months ago, never figured out how to make it work with blogger and now have two totally seperate blogs that I'd like to join into one that I can't figure out.
Anyone have any ideas?
In case you're wondering, the other blog is http://www.wellthatfigures.blogspot.com/ ... and my short term solution is to dual post on each blog for the time being. Sorry!

Hospitall Hill Run: half marathon
http://wellthatfigures.blogspot.com/2012/06/wow-9-min-pr-hospital-hill-recap.html
Wow! 9 Min PR! Hospital Hill Recap!
Not tons of details here. Rach pretty much covered it in her blog: "How to Run a Half Marathon While Pregnant"
This was a great run for me. Nine minute pr, and just and overall awesome race. There were two factors that were pretty heavy in my performance, and not what you would typically think (heat- it was perfect weather- ran the first 10k in arm warmers!, and hills- it was hilly, and I'm very slow, but paced smart to come in very close to what I wanted.): I listened to music (gasp!) and I ran side by side with someone the whole way. Julie and I have started many races together, but we've never finished a race next to one another that I can recall. One of us usually is a victor, or something like that.
Since Rach is quite pregnant at this point, and she's faster already, having her run a smidge slower pushed me to try to stay ahead (or not fall behind, really), and challenged me. I did push as hard as I could towards the end- but there's some damn big climbs, so it was more of a jog/shuffle. However, the only time we walked was thru the aid stations, per planned!
Also, I loaded the course to my garmin, so I knew what was coming and took laps along the way. I will have to upload that data when I think of it.
I did finish nine minutes faster than the Lincoln Half Marathon 2007.

I think this was around mile 5. Kansas City downtown in the background.
The Crown Center Fountains were the perfect post race ice bath recovery!
