<h2 style="text-align: left;">Our love of journals inspired us to design our <em>ideal</em> training journal to share with our sisters!</h2>

<p style="text-align: left;">We <em>cherish </em>our training diaries &amp; know why they are such an important tool.  A training diary is integral in tracking progress, and the patterns that emerge help us figure out what does and doesn't work for us in training and racing.  But, we also believe that a training diary can be <strong><em>so much more</em> than a recording device.</strong></p>
What we've created is an inspirational <em>training tool</em> for athletes that is fun to keep up with.  Between the two of us, we have competed for over 35 years at the highest levels of sport: from youth track clubs up to the biggest stage in the world: The Olympic Games.  Our biggest breakthroughs haven't come from physical preparation alone...they've come from approaching our running more holistically, with attention to the mind and spirit as much as the body.  This training diary includes the secrets and tricks we have learned along the way to accomplish that.
