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

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.

Got up and taught core fusion today - ooh legs were sore!  I hadn't foam rolled or stretched since the marathon - it really makes a difference.

I ran 4 really easy miles at a 9 min mile on the tread, and quads were definitely feeling it.  i wanted to do 5, but 4 felt like enough today.  I'm really trying to take it easy this week and listen to my body.

I trained my contestants, and taught flex tonight.  My right knee was bugging a little, but i think it was just my it band acting up.  Will definitely roll on the softball tonight!

I still wanted to give my abs and legs more of a break, so i decided to swim today. I felt good to push myself using different muscles. Today i swam for a mile,and then ran 3 miles around the indoor track at the rec. that's about all i had time for today. hopefully i can get a few more miles in tomorrow. I am enjoying the break though!

Ran the water tower loop today in the beautiful 75 degrees.  I started out without a plan cause i didn't know how my stomach would do.  And i ran pretty easy - 8:30 average.  Well stomach did start to bug after the first couple of miles, and it was off and on from there.  It was definitely bearable.  Its so hard to know when you can push and when you cant!  So by the end, i was doing ok, but not super happy about it.  i decided i was going to see the doc the next day.  I think the E.R. didn't get everything right, cause this pain feels an awful lot like my good old ulcer....except worse.  It's in the same spot - middle/upper stomach into the esophagus.  It makes me nauseous, and sometimes hard to breathe.  oh dear.

 

Taught zumba at night, and got through half of my class before my stomach was burning.  It would go off and on, but all the ab crunching and ab movement was doing a number on it.  Stopped by walgreens on the way home and picked up some peptid ac.  If it's ulcer this should help.

Oh man, i'm tired.  i got up super early to make it to the radio station at 7 am.  The Big Loser contest ended today, and I wanted to be there for my trainee, Leslie, cause she was in the final 3.  She ended up getting 2nd!  and won 6 free months to wash rec and weight watchers.  She lost 46 lbs in 8 weeks.  I'm a proud mama.

I then subbed renee's spin class today as a last min thing - it was interesting.  I haven't subbed a spin class in years, so i just got a routine off turnstep and read through and followed it as i taught the class.  haha.  i wonder if they noticed.  i think i pulled it off ok.

I wanted to run afterwards, but wasn't feeling up to it in my belly.  I decided to go to the doc instead.

well he confirmed my suspicions that it was my ulcer, and says it must be seriously inflamed right now with how much it's hurting.   thankfully no bacteria in it though.   Sooo he doubled me up on medication to get started on, and hopefully it helps!  The ulcer has been off and on since high school is making me so tired and nauseous all the time.  I suspect that this was the culprit last week as my "flu" as u can have all the same symptoms.   I will need to get a scope done in 3 months to check things out in there.  I need to quite stressing!!!!  easier said than done with my kids:)

Also my iron was in the toilet, so time to start taking my pills again.  and no more ibuprofen.

I decided to try for 10 today, but my legs were toast by 9.  I guess my body is still in recovery mode.    i immediately scheduled an appt with april cause my quads are just holding onto the pain.  It was really hilly today, and abs didn't love the downhill.  hopefully she can figure out what is causing this. averaged 8:10 today.  I'll prob just ease into next week too.  nothing too serious.

On the positive side, the barrage of medicine on my ulcer seems to have calmed it down.  i felt a little at the end in my esophogas, but that's it:)  i'll have to stay on the meds, but i can't believe that's all it took.
