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.

zumba, turbo, zumba - i'm seriously considering giving up my evening classes so that i can run more (and not get injured so easily).

I taught my core class today and did everything - i killed my abs and had no unusual pain there.  I can't figure out why only certain things hurt them.

I went to a free PT session today, and wasn't exactly worth my time.  the part on my abs wasn't hurting where he inspected - he barely touched on it and said that it wasn't my abs that were the problem, that it was my ribs.  um i'm positive my abs are hurting.  he told me to not run any downhill since that's what aggrivates it (how does one avoid all downhill?)

So in my usual fashion, i wanted to prove to him that it was my abs, and i went and ran some serious hills.  I ran in hurricane down 600 n, and then back up.  I sped up on the 3 serious downhills, and then uphills on the way back.  That was a tough workout today!  average 7:30.

Taught core fushion - only did some

abs were ok until about mile 7. then i had to stop and massage.

Easy 8 miles in the gusting wind - watertower loop.  the dirt was a lot easier on my sore muscles.

10 mile club run tonight.  and my first "faster" run since the marathon - oh yes i felt it.  my breathing was a little too strong at the beginning.  ran with steve and trevor who always make it look easy:)  Aside from from bathroom stop, i kept up with them.  averaged 6:40 for the whole run...last 3 miles were 6:15, 6:15, 6:25.  Hopefully that run will kick my body into gear.

Steve suggested following hal higdon's marathon plan....i think i will.  It looks like a solid training program. 

Finished with an hour of zumba - abs were surprisingly ok through all workouts today!

alright, i've got my running schedule planned and my sights set on Utah Valley Marathon.  If i even want a chance of doing well, i'm going to have to get my quads conditioned cause i seem to be affected more than most on downhill.  The club run was going to be 20 miles down the marathon course with 10 tempo miles, and i'm posititve my quads are not ready for that.  Instead i ran up Kolob 8 miiles (steep, continuous, uphill) and then back down for 16 total.  Ouch.  It was an easy pace, but that was some intense uphill.  I plan on doing this a few more times before the race.  thankfully my quads lasted through down the hill - i think my Saucony Kinvaras really helped them last longer.  The only sore spot was my ribs in the last mile.  I ran tempo on last 4 miles - average 6:40 (my body was not wanting to go faster).  I'm pretty happy with this run. average 7:40.
