[quote=Anonymous]I agree with other posters that this is only fair and manageable if the competing spouse is considerate of the non-competing spouse and does his/her utmost to train as much as possible during early mornings, nights, lunch hours, etc. This is what DH did when he trained for his first marathon last year. I never minded his training because he tried to schedule a lot of his longest runs so they coincided with our toddler's naps or other activities where his absence was OK. It didn't always work out - some runs were just too long - but he tried to work around our family and no one complained. These people who use their training as an excuse to hog all the me-time opportunities in the marriage and avoid domestic responsibilities are really selfish and not good partners or parents.[/quote]
