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.
I am really tired of all the side-jabs at ElaineK (about her fonts and smilies, husband, where she lives, how she deals with the noodlers, etc.) in this thread and elsewhere. I wish the moderators would be a little more active in talking privately to the perpetrators and asking them to stop. This is an interesting thread that I'd like to follow without having to read about others' personal gripes about other forumites. But in case the moderators don't want to do this, I'd like to ask, please, that it be stopped. It isn't funny and it certainly isn't about swimming.
Thanks for speaking up, Philo! :) You know, 'Geek and I have never even met in person. But, he has singled me out as his target on these forums. I had never done any social networking until this site (and still don't), so I don't know how it is on Facebook and other sites. But, I've heard stories... It's just too bad some people have to be so negative.
That Guy: You SO rock! :applaud: A big :bighug: and :smooch: to ya! :D
