Our love of hand-written journals inspired us to design our <em>ideal</em> Training Diary to share with our sisters!

We <em>cherish </em>our training diaries &amp; know why they are such an important tool.  A training diary is an important tool for 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 <em>so much more</em> than a recording device.

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.
The result is a special Diary that we believe will do the following:
<ol>
	<li>make your training more rewarding and fun to track with a simple, beautiful design.</li>
	<li>provide a framework for keeping your running as an integrated piece of your <em>life as a whole.</em></li>
	<li>help you set, stick to, and accomplish your goals.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Designed by professional runners, endorsed by professional runners, and made for YOU!</h3>
We want to encourage you to use a training diary and we aren't alone!  Inspiration to use your training diary is provided by 12 amazing current  professionals in the sport from around the World who share a love of training diaries: Olympians, National  Champions, NCAA champions, CEO's.

Other unique highlights of the journal include:
<ul>
	<li>Beautiful and clean design that allows you to see an entire month's  training, making it easy to find patterns and rhythms in your training  and racing at a glance.</li>
	<li>Beautiful encrypted floral designs that become your "cue" for each month.</li>
	<li>Insight into mental training tools used by professional athletes.</li>
	<li>Goal setting tips &amp; work-sheet.</li>
	<li>Lo &amp; Ro's <strong>Map to BELIEVING</strong> in yourself &amp; your dreams.</li>
	<li>Inspiration to keep up your training diary by 12 women leaders in the sport.</li>
	<li>"Bigger Picture" page allows you to chart important variables that affect your training &amp; racing.</li>
	<li>Made in the USA in the city of Portland, OR, with printers powered by alternative energy.</li>
	<li>Printed with vegetable based inks on 100% recycled materials</li>
</ul>
This special diary is truly a labor of love by two professional runners who want to bring their biggest discoveries in sport to women and girls everywhere.
