Short-Term Running Goals:

I am working to become the best obstacle  racer I can be.  If that goes hand in hand with a National Championship title, than I will have met 2 of my goals/dreams.

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Another sub 3 hour marathon

Sub 1:20 half marathon

I want to complete an ironman and some ultra races.

I Hope to be running until I'm 100.

 

Personal:

I have 2 boys (7 and 4) and a little girl (14 months) that keep me on my toes and make life worth living..  I've been married to my better half (Jim clark) for 10 years.  I teach fitness classes and am a personal trainer - my 2nd love is Zumba!  I love what i do!

I hold Obstacle Training Groups at my house on saturdays -I feel so blessed to be able to help others.

in the morning - this was my workout.

bike ride - 40 min was about what leg could handle.  I loved being in the saddle and pumping my legs pretty good.

upper body workout

5 push ups, 5 pull ups, 6 push ups, 6 pull ups etc to 10

40 lb push press

burpees

5,6,7, 8 , 9, 10

 This was my turning point today.

I had trained a group in the morning, and I had barely been able to haul my stuff onto the field for them without my hamstring just aching.  It was bad and I was so discouraged.  Try being discouraged about something and watching everyone else able to do it.

So I went to a practice later that day, and was depressed.  I was so down.  I really didn't want to be there.  I wanted to want to but I just saw no light at the end of the tunnel

A friend called me out (nicely) and asked if I had let the Lord help.

I've been holding myself back.  I've been keeping myself injured.   I was definitely not leaning on the Lord for help.  I had decided that He was not going to help me next time..  But I realized that I was trying to do it all on my own.  The minute I let go, didn't stress about it, and left it in His hands, it started to get better.  This happened - then I was able to run! It's not a coincidence.  The Lord knew that I needed this growth - and I did.  I'm so grateful for His Love. I'm grateful that I was able to strengthen my belief in him through this.  And to know that I don't have to suffer alone and that he will help me in His time.  I know that He hears our prayers, and that he knows us more than we know ourselves.
