Running Accomplishments:

-I'm an avid runner and crossfitter turned obstacle racer.  This year has brought on new and unexpected opportunities racing in Spartan races.  I'm in love with this new challenging part of my life.

Here is what I've come away with so far

1st - Socal Super Spartan 2013

1st - Texas Sprint Spartan2013

2nd- Las Vegas Super Spartan 2013

3rd - Arizona Sprint Spartan 2013

3rd - Atlas Obstacle Race 2013

Future Races

October?? maybe Sacramento Beast Spartan

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.

zumba - am

I felt a little relief today - if i could get my ulcer under control I'd be perfect.  Had my first doc appt today and was able to hear the heart beat strong and fast:)  It is always such an awesome thing to hear that! 

I ate a taco time burrito cause i was seriously craving it, and seriously paid for it later. I need to stay away from fast food!  It's so hard cause i hate cooking right now.

 I weighed 122 (gained 4 lbs), and am 10 weeks and 3 days.  

I can't believe that i'm already nesting!  I have been having insane urges to organizes and scrub every corner of my house.  i've already taken care of the garage, the guest bathroom and the kitchen.  I stayed up til 2 am cleaning the bathroom tonight!

I had such a rough night last night - 3 hours total!  I couldn't go to sleep. So this makes for a not very good mommy the next day.  I hate those days.  The lack of sleep made me super sick too.  Thank goodness both of my guys took a nap with me cause it saved me for the rest of the day.

I taught core fushion today - physically feeling good.

We cooked steaks tonight and it totally hit the spot!  i could've eaten all of jim's too.  also I know I'm officially pregnant because I bought pickles the other day.  I don't eat pickles. and they are sooo good.

Belly is protruding quite nicely now:)  At least i look pregnant and not fat.  There's not many places for the baby to go in my small frame.

1 mile in the pool today - I hope i didn't gross everyone out with my preggo belly sticking out.  I only had my tri suit (2 peice) and didn't want to call it quits just cause.  So swimming was much harder - It took 45 min to do a mile!  I did 10 laps of kickboard afterwards.  The water feels great and is so nice on my joints.

I did my second week of 8 miles and i'm proud of myself dang it.  That's like my long run now a days.  Now that I'm feeling better, I'm trying to build back up again.  I know i'll have to come down again, but at least i'll have a goal each week.  I'd love to get up to 10 or 12 before i have to come back down.

average 8:52 - ran water tower loop - I need to go earlier than 8 next week cause i was hot.  I drank gatorade the whole time and it helped.  My legs must have had a hard week cause they felt tired at mile 6!

I led a seriously good zumba workout today:)  No breaks and intense songs.  Just the way i liked it.  By the evening, i was absolutely exhausted.  Grocery shopping felt like a marathon.

Core fusion kicked my booty today, literally.  Lots of glute exercises.  It made running on the tread interesting later.  I pushed it to get 4 measely miles in, and they felt hard. I was extra tired today.

I woke up with a migraine today, and was also sick to my stomach.  so today was really fun.  I tried to just keep going through the daily stuff as it felt worse to lay down!  Obviously I didn't get a run in today. 

I got to take Evan for his kindergarten assessment, and was a proud momma when the teacher told me he'd done better than everyone else!  He's a little sponge and LOVES to learn.

I taught pm zumba, and had the most fun there that i've had in a while.  I can't believe this is such a good workout too!  I totally forgot i wasn't feeling up to par:)

13 weeks today!  Almost into the second trimester - 122-123 lbs

Migraine and nausea continued today...yuck.  I'm having serious digestive issues.

I cleaned at the temple and then swam at the rec center.  I was so happy with this workout!  Everything just clicked, and I could feel my body reaching further and stronger.  I swam a mile in 33 min, which is good for me non pregnant.  I wasn't breathing very hard and could've gone harder for sure.  I was famished afterward. and ate  a yummy sandwich at port-o-subs.  Food is starting to taste better - except when i cook it of course. 

Stomached bugged all day and felt horrible after we ate at iggys (I was not impressed).  Had great company with friends though.

Today was my day to increase mileage, so I went on my "long run" of 9 miles. I managed to get up at 6:30 and go, so the run felt beautiful.  I love early morning (that's early to me).  My legs already felt tired by 2, but I got through it at a steady pace (8:50s - good for the hilliness of it). ran into cholla creek and back.   My boys ran/biked by me for my last mile, which is always awesome:)

For some reason, but stomach still hurts.  I can't figure it out.  It feels kind of gassy for lack of a better word, but it's not.  It feels like its in my intestines too, so I don't know.  I hope it passes and isn't anything serious.  It's been 3 days though.  I'm taking nexium and zantac so it shouldn't be my ulcer.   hmmm.

I did it!  That is by the far the longest i've gone at this point being pregnant - and it felt great!  I actually had planned on 10 miles, but ran farther than i thought i would.  I was in Ogden visiting Jim's bro, and ran on the little trail that goes through the middle of town.  Unfortunately my watch died .6 of a mile into the run, and i didn't want to turn around.  So i figured that i wasn't doing anything else, so i actually counted how many minutes i was running. The little counter just kept going in the back of my head. Apparently that's not the most accurate way to judge distance:).  I thought i was doing 9 min miles ( but must have been 8:30 - 8:45).  It was on a flat  trail.  So anyhow, i turned around when i thought i should, but it was 3/4 of a mile off.  So i got myself to run a little farther than i had planned. 

Went to a bees game with the kids later, and they lasted about 4 innings.  It was fun though!

I had to run in the evening today, so i just ran around hurricane (which i thought would be fine with all the lighted, busy streets).  I felt very heavy tonight, was dehydrated the whole time, and had stomach issues.  I even had a creepy guys ask to run with me (um no) and then try to chase me.  lol I sped up a just a little and left him in the dust.  What a punk though.  Some girls drove by, saw him and stopped (which scared him away),  Kind of scary though.  I'm really considering mace or a tazer now.
