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

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.

I was shocked by how good I felt today! I got to run with my sweetie which only happens a couple times a year. He was nice enough to wait for me, but we still managed to average 8:30s to 9 min miles. I ran again without belly belt. We also ran in 20 deg mountain weather which didn't seem to faze either of us. nd running on the snow made for a cushioned run:) I walked for about a mile in the middle of it all, but ran about 4.5 of it.

We went bowling, and then to see the new Mission Impossible which made for a seriously fun filled day. i managed to get 2nd for bowling with a 148 (lost to my bro by 2 points.....dang it). I just wanted to beat him once cause he always wins.

1 hr turbokick - I managed to squeeze it in among all the festivities and overeating. I was pretty exhausted by the end.

I tried out the star valley gym and went 20 min on 3 different pieces of equipment. It all felt like an eternity. This is why i run - you just get it done.

I started out on the treadclimber - can i tell you i hate this thing. i stopped paying attention and one foot would dip lower than the other. I followed with 20 min on the broken elliptical runner, followed by the rower. i tried to do some strength afterwards, but just couldn't motivate myself to do much.

We traveled home from sv today, and I was so sad to go this time. This trip went way to quickly. Plus driving in the car just kills me at this point. Why do trips always seem to take longer on the way back?

I got up and did an hour of insanity (yes i am crazy) with my 5 year and and a bunch of nieces and nephews to keep me company:) I'm proud to say that i can still do a lot of it!

We went to the rec center afterwards and swam with the family and kids, and the pool actually felt pretty good for once. Either that or all my extra fat is insulating me nicely.

I weighed myself today and am at 143. So if I only gain 5-6 more pounds in the next 8 weeks I will be right where I want to be. I'm 32 weeks today!!!!

Oh crap, I can't believe I haven't blogged for all of december! There's no way I'm remembering all that, so I'll have to keep it brief. I really want to keep up so that I can compare notes with my next pregnancy (yes I'm thinking I'll prob at least have 1 more - crazy!!!) Not for at least 3 years though.

So I got up today and ran the annual new years day run with my friends, and it was such a blast. I managed to eke out some 8:30-9 min miles which is much easier to do when you are talking with someone. i ran without my belly belt and for some reason, everything hurts less. I got to run in my new frees and they felt way good!

We consumed our calories back in donuts and hot chocolate afterwards:)

I enjoyed a quiet peaceful evening watching a red box with my fam. We have had so much company and craziness around here, that it felt good to just relax on new years eve.
