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

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.

1 hr of oh so good for me yoga!

I didnt get my run in til the evening but i did it!

8:16 average - I ran the watertower loop backward (with lots of uphill), so I'm happy with that.  I'm still waiting for this distance to start feeling better.

5 miles on the treadmill.  I ran the last mile at a 9.0 - it felt so good to speed my body up a bit.  My knee and the hamstring insertion started bugging pretty good.

Wow, I didn't realize how many miles i was going to hit this week.  That may have been a little much..

k so i really wanted to get 15 in today and wasn't going to do anything less.  I got out the door by 6:45, so i should've been fine.  I noticed I was already a little tired from the get go, and running up the hill to the highway felt decently challenging.  I turned and ran towards Leeds.  I was feeling pretty good, but stomach was starting to hurt - I thought this was just the gel i was taking.  I hadn't eaten anything beforehand, and I really should've. 

After turning around I had 4-5 miles of gradual to moderate uphill to climb, and I was feeling it.  Around 10 miles, I even felt the need to walk a couple times.   My stomach was hurting pretty good, but I had to just get home.  That was my only option.  I'm so thankful that my last 3 were downhill cause I wouldn't have made it without.  My water didn't seem to be refreshing me, and the gel wasn't giving any energy

The run was a bit slower than planned - though I still averaged 8:17. I had pushed my 2 previous runs a bit, so I was ok with it overall.  I got home and my hubby went on his run.  My stomach was really hurting, so I just tried to chug a couple bottles of water. 

bad idea

And then it gets worse.  I just laid down by my baby on the floor and tried to drink stuff, but just started feeling sicker.  It took everything I could just to pick her up and get to my bed.   I was not in a good place.  everything i was drinking was not going down.  And then i lost it.  Everything I had tried to drink came back up. My body was in pain. 

this had happened before.

I called my neighbor to get me to the instacare.  My father in law showed up and took me.  How embarrassing.  Well I got there shaking, freezing, and in pain and just gritted my teeth til the i.v. took effect.  I threw up again.

An hour later I was finally out of pain.  It was dehydration again, and just took me by surprise.  it wasn't that hot outside, and I hadn't been running fast.  I ran 12 miles, and then 13 miles in previous weeks - I should've been fine. I will be vigilant in taking my salt pills from now on!  It's that simple.
