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 have to agree as well. As I am becoming active on this forum, I have noticed this too...and I don't appreciate it. Both ElaineK and her husband are wonderful people and I feel lucky to know them. She is an awesome swimmer and trains very hard. Her enthusiasm for swimmming inspires me.
Thanks, Marianne; the feeling is mutual! You and Tom are so nice and I have never met such a humble swimmer as you! Check out your rankings at the end of this year; I see some Top Tens in your future! :cheerleader:
I really appreciate your friendship and look forward to seeing you at St. Pat's! :)
