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.

back to the pool to keep up the fitness.  Good to know swimming is still a piece of cake.  leg started bugging a lot this time cause of the kicking.  This has to be nerve related!  It's never in the same spot!  Got a mile in

in the morning - this was my workout.

bike ride - 40 min was about what leg could handle.  I loved being in the saddle and pumping my legs pretty good.

upper body workout

5 push ups, 5 pull ups, 6 push ups, 6 pull ups etc to 10

40 lb push press

burpees

5,6,7, 8 , 9, 10

 This was my turning point today.

I had trained a group in the morning, and I had barely been able to haul my stuff onto the field for them without my hamstring just aching.  It was bad and I was so discouraged.  Try being discouraged about something and watching everyone else able to do it.

So I went to a practice later that day, and was depressed.  I was so down.  I really didn't want to be there.  I wanted to want to but I just saw no light at the end of the tunnel

A friend called me out (nicely) and asked if I had let the Lord help.

I've been holding myself back.  I've been keeping myself injured.   I was definitely not leaning on the Lord for help.  I had decided that He was not going to help me next time..  But I realized that I was trying to do it all on my own.  The minute I let go, didn't stress about it, and left it in His hands, it started to get better.  This happened - then I was able to run! It's not a coincidence.  The Lord knew that I needed this growth - and I did.  I'm so grateful for His Love. I'm grateful that I was able to strengthen my belief in him through this.  And to know that I don't have to suffer alone and that he will help me in His time.  I know that He hears our prayers, and that he knows us more than we know ourselves.
