Ridecamp: Re: [RC] A question for Maryben

Sylvia,

I know you didn't mean for this to hit the entire list, but it is a 
valid discussion topic. I have been trying to get my best friend to 
start endurance training with me but she has the same problem. She has a 
seven year old arab that just loves to go, go, go. I'm fortunate enough 
to have a horse crazy daughter that rides with me. She has two small 
boys who are also into "motors" of any kind and a husband that always 
seems to have other things to do.

Now I'd like to hear from the guys on the list...how do we get across to 
our spouses (or our friends spouses) that this is a chance for an 
individual to complete other goals aside from being "mom"?
