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.
Most of my swims are early in the morning when my family is in bed. And I'm planning to do maybe 3-4 races...and my family loves to go to the open water events.
I think my husband loves it. I'm stronger, happier and leaner.
My son who's an age group swimmer loves that we can talk about our workouts and I'm not focused on his swimming.
