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.

Hip was a little sore from saturday, but everything else felt fine.  I got 4 miles in. then did 6x 400m uphill with every 3rd downhill.

1 - 6:18, 2 - 6:07, 3 - 5:36, 4- 6:12, 5, 6:08, 6 - 5:29.

I came home wanting to finish on the treadmill, and ended up getting thrown up on by my 2 year old.  Poor little guy:(  That cut my workout short.

Spin class on then 7 miles on the indoor track and treadmill.  My quads were feeling good today for once!  I felt strong on the bike. Yay!

Club run tonight = ouch.  i felt tired and just couldn't push my miles faster.  The whole thing was a decent pace.  first mile was an 8:15, miles 2-5were 6:50 average, and then, 6-9 were 6:23 average.  Again, i'm having issues getting my feet to turn over faster - I was running faster times than this earlier in the season, but we also would run the beginning miles slower.  so maybe that is it.  I just want to see a few 6:05s or 6:15s even.  on my speed run tomorrow i'm going to make sure i hit those. 

zumba class in the evening - i took it really easy

I wanted to meet up the guys for a club run, but was up til 2 making my 5 year old's b-day spiderman cake.  He is so worth it. i love the little guy:)

So I had to run less miles than i wanted, and got 14 in.  I started at the highway, then ran down 5 miles, up 5. and then back down 4.  During the last 4 miles, I stopped looking at my watch and tried to get some marathon pace miles in.  i wanted to see how fast i'd run without my watch.  apparantly not as fast as i wanted - last 4 were 6:30 (with uphill), 6:38 (more uphillL), 6:24, 6:43 (more flat and uphill).  i wasn't pushing super fast, i just did a pace that felt do-able (but you always run faster in a race right?).  I need to get a good speed run in for my confidence! 

On a side note, it is sooo hard to taper.  I think it's my least favorite part.
