I don't do weddings, showers, parties (unless horse related), birthdays,
movies (unless horse related), house cleaning (but do barn chores), buy new
clothes, (unless horse related), shoes (unless for the horse). This could
go on and on. It does boil down to how much are you willing to sacrifice
for the sport. If you are dedicated enough to do 100's, then you will be
dedicated enough to "make" room. I really don't think someone is going to
be able to balance work, hubby, kids, kids sports, family outings, civic duties,
etc. AND be a totally dedicated 100 mile person. It's really not a "cake
and eat it too" kinda thing.
And I guess that's what I'm talking about as the
primary reason I can't see myself doing 100s. 50s I can do without the
same sacrifice. I can admire your dedication, but don't see how to emulate
it! If I didn't work I'd have the time - no money for horses, but the
time! Anyway, thanks for the insight.
