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

Future Races

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.

cholla creek trail - ouch this hurt today!  the wind was blowing too and going right through my clothes. so i was planning on 11 or 12 miles today, but i ran too slow and got 10 in.  i used it as a recovery run and just did what i could do.  by last 2 miles my legs loosened up a little.

taught core fusion and then strength at night.

didn't make it to spin cause brother was visiting, but got 8 miles in on the treadmill at night.  so glad i did!  I had a massage early in the day, and my legs were definitely sore from it.  I'm trying to hit over 50 miles this week, so hopefully i do it!

I'm excited to run with the club on thursday and saturday.  i need a little push from some fast guys.

I ran with the race team today, and it was a great run!  Mostly anyways.  i knew i might b in trouble cause i hadn't ate lunch until 2 and we left at 5.  But it was great push, and running with them made the middle paces feel a little easier. 

Well i was going to treat this run like a tempo run, though it was just a recovery run for everyone else:)We gradually sped up, and by mile 4 or 5 we were running in the high 6 s.  they started bringing it in at mile 6, and i tried to stay with them.  i felt really free and solid that mile (6:08) but then my stomach officially sta having problems, and i couldn't push through it (or find a bathroom).  i slowed to 6:26, and then 6:28 for last 2.5 miles.   so slower than i wanted it to be that day, but it was great to have the company and people to push me.

I had to train someone and then head to teach zumba after that - i was wiped out.  my tummy was still hurting and i had zero energy!  a lot of faking it.

I got more than 50 miles in this week and i'm totally happy with that!  with my crazy schedule that's a huge accomplishmeent.  For Utah Valley marathon i'm going to shoot for 60's and 70's when i'm not training so many clients.

K so I'm happy with today's run.  Met up with the guys on the race team, and amber and ran 20 miles.  10 easy pace and 10 tempo (well 9 then i jogged the last one in).  we averaged 7:30 on the first 10, then 6:40 on the next half.  It's been so great running with the guys and amber cause they keep a great pace.  we lost them when they sped up of course, but amber kept me going.  I was surprised how solid i felt the whole time - now that i know the course i'd like to push it even harder next time, but i was really happy about our pace.  It never felt too hard, and was good for me mentally.  by mile 19 i could feel it in my gluteal region ( a few hills on this), and it started to feel a little stiffer.  we pushed in with a 6:20 something on the last mile.  Anyways, I'm feeling ready for my first marathon of the year!

halfway in i started to feel that spot on my abs, but as long as i focused on not leaning back,especially downhills, it didn't get worse.  it's sore today, but i'll massage and ice and hopefully it's fine.  if i can make 20, i  can make 26.

I had some gatorade and 2 gels on this run - though i could've used more.
