Deanna makes a quick descent (it's the
prairies folks; this is almost a mountain) at the local Bur Oak
trail during a Wednesday Night Race.

Purpose
To
some extent this site is probably just a glorified blog, but we like
to think that the purpose of TheTrainingCoop.com is at least a
little more than our vain attempt to claim some small corner of the
web as our own. Allow us to explain:
We seem to gravitate towards
'high performance' athletic environments. Though Scott and
Deanna have both been a part of national level competition in
different sports, at least in this
stage of our lives we don't consider ourselves high
performance in a competitive sense (it's all relative we guess, but if there ever was a chance to make it onto the podium
at World's that chance has surely passed by now, unless we discover
a long dormant talent as curlers). None the less we enjoy the
structure, the commitment, and the top end gear that come with the
high performance environment, and we tend to have friends and
acquaintances who take their sports seriously and we enjoy tagging
along, and contributing to, that world.
We set out to try to
create a training and competitive environment where a small cooperative of members
share
many of the same athletic interests, and want to live through some
of the highs
and lows of each other's training, competing, and adventures
together. We also want to encourage others to participate in
fitness activities, whether that's achieved thru helping put on
local races and events, donating fitness merchandise to like-minded
charities, or offering certified personal fitness training.
If others occasionally stop by the site
to see what we're up to that's great, but even if no one visits it's
cathartic for us to capture our feelings and affirm our commitment
to one another by posting things here. If down the road
there's another family member or good friend who shares our philosophy and
purpose and wants to join our little Co-op that would be great, and
for anyone interested in personal fitness training Scott would be
happy to sit down with you for a consultation.
Regardless, the mere
fact that someone could check out our Message Board postings
and read about how our training is going is bound to keep us honest,
and some days you need that extra little incentive to get up and
go. So if you are reading this let us know and maybe
we'll be inspired to put in an extra effort on tomorrow's run, ride,
or paddle. |
