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

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.

3 miles on tread - i was hoping for no cramping and bleeding after, but didn't get it.  hopefully lori can clear some things up on Thurs and help me figure out why I'm still not recovered from this birth!

6 week appt with midwife today.  I was kind of going in expecting bad news...I was waiting to hear her say I should stop exercising and lay around for a week or so, I had it in my head that that was what I was going to do to.  I'd rather wait it out now, rather than start training hard and then have to stop, 

Well everything actually looked good.  My abs are coming together really well, and everything looks healed.  She really thinks the pain in my stomach is my ulcer.  I'm still skeptical cause exercise has never made my ulcers worse before.  She said I could also have organs sticking through still (how nice) and that's causing pain.  Ugh!  I don't know.  She actually wants me to exercise cause she can see how much it helps my emotional state.  I had to say it but I've had a bit postpartum depression and just can't kick it.  Exercise is my drug of choice - so the more i do the happier i am.  She wanted to put me on anti - depressants for a month til i start exercising more but I'm kind of leery of that. 

She also said that women can actually bleed like forever after having a baby.  The whole time they r breastfeeding.   Crossing fingers that that wont b me.  Glad to see it's normal though.

I was way happy to be able to come home and exercise, so I went running the first chance i had (10 pm) and it felt sooo good.  I wore a belly wrap to keep it warm, and ran somewhat slow.  But it felt good, and pain was minimal to none in the belly area.  don't know if it was the wrap or the fact that I was going slow.  but hey i'll take it.

I went to zumba today!   yay!  it was so fun...I've really missed it!  I took miss Ivy in with me and she actually sat and watched for like 40 min of it.  She started to get a little tired, so i held her and danced with her for 1 song - She was out:)  It was amazing but she stayed that way for the rest of the class with the music pounding.  It must have felt just like home:)

My stomach however felt awful.  Any move that needed a quick ab movement just killed.  I need to figure this thing out.  It's definitely not my muscle, but something internal.  It's where my ulcer should be on my esophogus down to my stomach on the left side.  I'm sure my organs are all disorganized from having a 10.5 pound baby in there.  I'm hoping it'll work itself out.

Today was a madhouse trying to get my 3 year old's bday party ready.  It was so fun and he was so stinkin cute.  I'm definitely going to tone it down for my 6 year olds next month though.  My stomach was crampy all day today.

I napped with Ivy later, and then decided to run at 11 pm.  It was all on the tread, but it was a good 5 miles!  I'm moving up.  Wore the belly wrap but don't know if I needed it.  I'll try a little without on mon.  I am so ready to just bust out and train hard.
