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.

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.

I met with a new p.t. and was disappointed to hear that the one who would be helping me was a new therapist...ahh...i need someone with experience! the last thing that she said to me was, sorry i don't feel like we helped you much. Thankfully though, she did some research and called me later. i may know what is causing my problem. It has to do with the diaphragm and the liver -if i don't take breaths into my abs and it stays shallow in my chest, it can cause the ligaments in the diaphram to strain. I've been under lots of stress lately and that could cause it as well. soooo, concentrating on deep breaths into my belly when i run may be the fix.

while at the p.t. she also "scraped" my abs, which may have helped the next day during my race.

I decided to go ahead and run the hurricane half the next day. i'll take some ibuprofen and get through it.

I don't think PT's in general have expertise in diaphragm/abdominal issues. Sorry this is still bugging you. Congrats on your race, though :D

Yeah, doctors are even less helpful (the ones I've been to anyway) so its hard to know who to go to for help! It's such a weird problem. I researched it online last night and people were describing my problem exactly. So I really think I'm dealing with the diaphragm thing.
