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.

So I really wanted to tackle a hill today, so I went out to Toquerville falls again.  Oh my gosh.  Is this run ever going to get easier???  It's a 2 mile climb, and then straight down and then back up again for the reast of it. 

I tried out my new Brooks trail shoes - yuck!  I hated them.  They had too much cushion in the front and I felt like i was so unstable - not a good thing to be going on during a trail run. 

Oh and the wind was super strong and blowing right at me while climbing the hills - and I couldn't stop hacking from this chest thing I've got going on.  Not my best day but am glad I was up to the challenge.

Today was so awesome - I got to conduct my first Spartan training and I had so much fun.  We did bucket carrys, tire drags, wall climbs, spear throw, and of course burpees.  It think it went really well!  It's so fun to make every one else do the dirty, hard work. 

It's time to start building my miles back up to train for the spartan beast.  I was just hoping that my knee would hold up, and it did better than it's been doing.

I ran the water tower loop and then added extra hills and lots of sand. 

After 5 miles, I did 30 burpess, and 100 lunges holding a heavy rock every other mile

I'm so so determined to get a strong uppper body, so I really wanted to hit the weights a bit.

I did

tire drag

5x wall climb

20x thruster - 40 lbs

20x pull ups

spear throw, 15 burpees, throw, 10 burpees, throw, 5 burpees

Repeated 2 x

Great workout today!
