Silverman Chronicles: Peak Week

Active Toby — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:59:27 GMT

Overview: I'm on the precipice of achieving my season goal--completing both a 100-mile ultra marathon and a 140.6-mile triathlon.

Silverman: In peak training for Silverman and fully committed to the process. The month countdown to November 9 has begun. My swimming is coming along, cycling has improved drastically and I've learned so much through this process.

Training: The most difficult and perhaps most important lesson I've learned, which Matt Fitzgerald highlights in Brain Training for Runners, is the importance of writing workouts in pencil and not pen. This means that one should not be afraid or feel guilty for erasing/editing a training session if things aren't working out properly. At first I would feel ashamed when I didn't hit my target but now I realize this may have actually saved my season by avoiding overuse injuries, burnout and exhaustion. My training partner Ryan provides a perfect example of making the best of a training ride gone wrong in his blog from our ride last weekend. I'm hoping for the best this weekend but am now prepared for the worst

GreenLaces.org: In my continued effort to expand my horizons while lessening my impact on the environment, I've made a promise to the planet. From now on I will recycle my running shoes through the Reuse-a-Shoe program so they can be made into playground and athletic surfaces. I made my promise at GreenLaces.org and will support this grassroots movement by wearing green shoelaces in my running shoes.

I encourage you to make a promise and change one thing... So what's your promise going to be?

Recap: If you thought this year was big... stay tuned for my 2009 season preview. Let's just say things are about to get more interesting... Thanks for reading and please leave me some cool comments

TGIF!!! Team MGD 60 - PHX

Karen Ebner — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 23:14:52 GMT

Hi teammates - Great to "e-meet" you and introduce myself. I'm Karen and totally revved up about being a part of this team. I live in East Phoenix (44th St/Thomas Area) and spend a great bit of time bouncing around this area for "social" activities. However, I work up in the Scottsdale Airpark area as director, talent management for a digital marketing company.

Moving to Phx from NJ (GO PHILLIES!!! ) 8 years ago, I never would have imagined that I would be enjoying the life I lead today. I am all for running, biking (road/mtn), hiking, camping, team sports, triathlons, adventure/urban races....but I balance that out with "bar sports" like trivia/darts/pool/shuffleboard, cards, pubcrawls, "cruiser-cocktail-crusades" and the like.

My friends refer to me as "Julie" (Cruise director from Love Boat), since I am the 'go to' for getting things organized and tend to come up with some neat ideas. I have also been able to motivate a number of "less than motivated" folks to "GET OFF THE COUCH" which is a motto I try to promote.

In addition to a Scottsdale Co-ed Softball team, and tuesday night tempe town lake small running group runs, my upcoming events
already planned include: 10/11 Cactus Cha Cha Ru, 10/19 South Mountain
Run, 10/26 SOMA Relay-bike, 11/22 Mud Run, 12/5 Cave Creek Luminary
Run, 1/19 PFChangs 1/2

I am competitive, that is, until it takes away the fun...I like to keep it real. Seeing others have fun is a big part of this.

It would be great to meet up with everyone one of these days and brainstorm on a larger event or two that we can work on together...mucho points for all! (I am all about the more the merrier) Anyone up for this?? Anyone up for meeting next Wednesday night somewhere?
