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.

5 miles around la verkin with stroller.  I took the kids to the park afterward and totally enjoyed the beautiful weather throwing the ball with isaac. I decided to add in daily crossfit style workouts - just doing what i can.  So today I did 8 rounds of 20sec of pushups, froggy crunches, jump squats.  Last sets felt pretty hard.  10sec of rest in between.

Amazing Ivy slept through my entire workout today.  It felt so good to get it all in!  I want to start running daily, but need to add on slowly.  So i did just 1 mile today.  added on 8 rounds of 10 tuck jumps, 15 mountain climbers for time. I kept it at 25 sec for each.  Then i did 50 min of Turbokick - with my weighted gloves might i add.

Jim and I both wanted to run, and it was 8 pm.  So i go the idea to make it a family affair. I pushed all the kids in the stroller (ha ha).  Jim had eaten too recently and his belly hurt (and ivy was crying) so i finished up 2 more miles after the 3 together.

I got to borrow ironman heather wurrtle's bike trainer today - well for the summer.  i can't imagain what it would be like to have extra $500 bike trainers laying around that had been given to me.   Anyhow I've decided to spend 1 day a week doing some bike trainging.  and since jim gets home so late, it will most likely have to be a lot of indoor stuff.  So my friend liz took a H.I.T. class this winter and bless her heart had saved all of the workouts. I would've gone nuts without them.  Oh yeah, I'm a weak biker.  This killed me!  the first workout went over an hour (it will build up to 2) and has a lot of cadence training. I still can't spin my legs that fast! 

Anyhow it felt good and I was dripping sweat.  I'm excited to get stronger legs.

Treadmill run.  I started to feel my calves/ heels a little bit today.  That scares me a little bit cause I absolutely do not want to develop plantar fascitis.  I've seen too many people struggle forever with it. So I massaged it a bunch throughout the day.  I found a super painful spot,  well spots, on either side of my ankle. Almost down the the heal.  Well i dug into those and made myself cry a little.  They are sore sore sore and i hope i can run tomorrow. 

50 pushups - had to take a break but got through them all on my toes.

whoo hoo!!! 7 miles.  I know its so not that far, but i had stressed all night and day that i wasn't going to be able to run today.  And that's the farthest i've gone post baby It wasn't perfect, and my heel felt a little numb.  But all the massaging i did on those trigger points helped for sure.  I think my feet just need to get stronger again.  Heels are not numb and actually felt a little better post run.  I felt pretty good on the run too. my average was 8:45, but i also ran back in 20 mph wind.  I even ran 1 mile in the 7s.  That's so slow comparatively, but it's great for me.  I was not missing running the Hurricane Half today (though I've won it the past 2 years) cause the wind was rediculous.  Why is it always windy for this race?

afterwards - 3 rounds ran 50 meters, 50 lunges
