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.

I woke up this morning kind of dreading my run.  I wanted to go 10, but was so not motivated.  I was feeling a little down cause my friends were all doing red rock relay and i wasn't.  I actually did have 3 teams ask me if i could fill in last minute.  I didn't think my bod could handle all of that.

So I glanced at my phone before going and noticed my friend had texted me at 4 am, asking if i could fill in on a leg later on.  I gave her a call and they were just coming into la verkin, and asked if i wanted to do the next one.  Yes!!! of course.   it was perfect timing and i was only 3 min away. 

So i pretty much got there and started running.  I do need to mention that the first 2 miles were up the la verkin twist - ouch.  I was so awesome though.  I felt bad passing everyone while being pregnant, but they were on their 3rd legs, and i was pretty fresh.  I did get 7 kills:)  I was surprised at the pace i could still run. I averaged 8 min/ mile which included the uphill portion.  The leg was 6.2 and i just wanted to keep running!  I went from dreading my run, to being able to have a support and cheer team, and motivation to pass people.  It was so perfect.  I really needed it.

They drove me back down and i ran another 4 miles , to make 10 miles.
