Not really. She's thin and in good shape, but she's not very physically inclined. Swimming in the summer, some light biking & roller-blading occassionally....and whatever she gets at school.

Spin/Swim is Weds & Fri
mornings (kids in school)
Training w/trainer & weights on my own, Tues & Thurs.
morning (kids in school)
All my activities are in the morning and while the kids are in school. The only thing I did towards the evening was racquetball, on monday & wednesday nights at 6pm...so I wasn't at the dinner table. Even if my wife had dinner at 5:30, I still wouldn't each much (can't play hard on a stomach full of food) and I'd have to leave by 5:45 to make it to the gym by 6pm. Thursday night the nanny would come and my wife and I have our night out....so I was only at the family dinner table on Tuesday nights, that's it. Fri-Sat we usually woudl go out as a family or be with friends. So my wife's entire concern was that our kids were only getting 1 night per week of Dadda being at the dinner table.
It's a non-issue now....I'm out of racquetball for months and even if I do return, it'd only be for Monday nights only. Honestly, I (at this point) don't anticipate going back; I have this feeling that the injury not only reoccur, but be more likely to occur (weakened).
As pointed out early, I've sorta made up my mind. It's too early to say. I'll wait until I'm better and figure it out from there. I just know I'll say "I'll take it easy"....but over time I'll be right back at it. I was consistently winning the league and it's hard to play-down.
I can see that.....the kids must finish dinner long before your workouts are done.[/QUOTE]
