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.

Today was my marathon pace run, and my goal was to hit 6:20s to 6:30s depending on how i felt. the course was had long stretches of gradual uphill, and then gradual downhill. My only prob today was my abs - not good:( i had to stop twice to massage them - I knew i was going to see april today so i pushed through. here are my splits. my legs felt pretty good throughout!

1 - warm up - 7:47

2 - 6:34

3- 6:36

4 - 6:34

5 -6:41

6 -6:48

7 -6:30

8 - 6:37

9 - 6:39

10 - 6:39

11 -6:40

12 -9:11

I was hoping for it to be a little faster - to get a few of those in the 6:20s, but i'm good with it:) My abs were holding me back a little. my first 12 with the warm up mile was 1:20 - would've been a 1:26 to 1:27 1/2 marathon. If i can do 2 of those, i'll be right where i want to be. I did feel like i could keep going. Plus UV marathon has way more down hill than i did today. Should make for some faster miles.

I went to april afterwards and she found a pretty tight spot in my upper back, under the shoulder blade. It seems that was my problem spot!
