#1 dont call me friend, buddy
#2 I never assumed that. I just found it ironic that the Hansons are so strict with their rules regarding dating and yet their best athlete ever (yes, including Brian Sell) trains regularly with someone of the opposite sex who happens to be her boyfriend. It made me think that they should re-evalute their rules.
You said "...trains regularly...", but I've read all of the pre and post Berlin interviews and I read that this training with her boyfriend-Kevin Hanson's description of him, not Desiree's-was done due to the other females on the team not training for an August marathon. Dot McMahan was recovering from having a baby during Desiree's Berlin training. Melissa White was training for 10k stuff during Desiree's Berlin training. Same with Carol Jefferson. I read and inferred that this "...regularly.." was more temporary since Desiree's teammates, not training for an August marathon, would be doing different types of training during that time. So she was allowed to train with the boyfriend (what the hell, Desiree, is he your friend or boyfriend??) for this training block, but training without the other women on the team was a temporary thing from what I read.
On a side note, I live near Hanson's Royal Oak store so I look in at the Hanson threads all the time. What happened to the person who was bashing Chad Johnson and claimed to have run sub 2:30 at Columbus? He sort of disappeared once "DukerDog" outed him by saying only a few Michigan people have run that fast in so many years and he knew those people. I'll have to ask that question on the other thread I guess...........
