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

5th - Spartan World Championships 2013

 

Future Races

October?? maybe Sacramento Beast Spartan

December - Texas Beast

 

 

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.

Run/walk on the tread, and lots of packing to go on our trip.  Jim was out of town, so I had to do everything myself (and get the house cleaned).  Is it just me or does every woman hate to leave town with a dirty house.  I just hate coming back to it that way.  I was exhausted!

Another not so happy visit to the midwife/nurse.  As she was checking my belly she noticed that it was looking lumpy.  After further inspection, she figured out that the baby was laying transverse (the worst position they can be in at this point cause they can't come out normally during labor - most have to have c-sections...ugh.  She did an ultrasound to make sure (and also made sure she was a girl:))   I also found out that I have  strep-b again!! and have to be on the drip antibiotic 2 hours before baby is born.  It's not a huge deal, just a pain. 

However I left the office feeling discouraged after the talk of c-sections, and having to come in the following week to have her turned.  a doc has to do it, and I guess it's pretty painful.  Hopefully she flips on her own!

 

By the end of the day, she had turned, but she felt breach - I really didn't want to have to worry about this!

Really should've exercised today, but wasn't feeling it.  Exhausted from yesterday!

today was the 2nd half of our travel day to star valley, and it was rough:(  I could not get comfy and my feet were swollen by the time we got there.  it was so good to make it though - We traveled up to my gpa's 100th bday celebration, and I got to spend time with my army brother that I haven't seen in 5 years.   The trip was so worth it!

I went to the little star valley gym and did the eliptical for 30 min. I put it on a plateau program and It was a seriously hard workout!  walked on the tread for 20 min after and lifted weights for about 5 min.

Today was my grandpa's 100th birthday celebration - He is such an amazing man and I really admire the life he and my grandma lived.  He's so positive and loving, and he looks amazing for a 100 year old!  He still goes and does a stationary bike 3 x a week for 30 min.  More proof that exercise is the key to longevity. 

I managed to get in a run/walk (and it killed me!)  I don't want to admit it but I barely made it back.  I walked all but 15 min of it - I ran 1 - 5 min segment, then 2 - 10 min segments where I ran every other min.  That's about all I can do at this time.

We had a big dinner in the church gym, and played lightening with basketball afterwards.  We have a lot of tall, good athletes in our fam, so I was delighted to be able to hold my own with them - I got a lot of "Ty what are you doing!  You are 9 mo pregnant".  lol.  We had a ton of fun though!
