This is a great topic of discussion for us.
When does working out and training for an event take too much time away from family?
Is it different if your spouse isn't a swimmer or athletic?
How does your spouse feel about how much you train each week?
What comprimises have you made?

What's funny is I trained with Jordan (featured in the article) on Thursday July 5th, 2007 at Asphalt Green in NYC, he gave me a ride back by my hotel which was pretty close to his office. Very nice guy.

My husband is also former college athlete, so he understands how I need some balance in my life. He doesn't know much about swimming, but has enjoyed (or pretends to enjoy :)) learning about it.
How does your spouse feel about how much you train each week?
He actually complains when I train less because I am crabby when I can't work out!
I agree with Ande, it's all about finding a balance!
