[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] than trying to catch me at home well okay are you ready for me to push one okay
[speaker002:] sure  okay what kind of exercise do you do or do you do any
[speaker001:] um I do some not a lot I'm kind of lazy um
[speaker002:] well I am a couch potato
[speaker001:] yeah I know how that is I do play like racquetball a lot that's fun I like that the best
[speaker002:] I've never played racquetball no uh
[speaker001:] you haven't well I'm in college and I took it as a class like last semester and I just loved it I thought it was great it's really a lot of fun
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] it's not real hard now I'm taking like weight training and I hate it it's so dumb
[speaker002:] I've tried weight training I just I just can't get into it no it
[speaker001:] really it seems so pointless
[speaker002:] and it well I don't like having the sore muscles I like to run jog
[speaker001:] do you
[speaker002:] yeah I I used to jog about six miles a day and then I I tore the ligaments in my ankle so I I don't really run that much but I I I jog some about a mile or so now
[speaker001:] oh my gosh uh-huh
[speaker002:] when I have time
[speaker001:] yeah I know I'm not real into like aerobics are anything like that only exercise when I have to I mean
[speaker002:] yeah that's that's basically me
[speaker001:] you know I'm kind of I'm really bad about it
[speaker002:] I'm I'm I exercise more in in the summer and spring than I do um like this time of year because
[speaker001:] yeah when the weather's nicer is it really
[speaker002:] it it's too cold here yeah well I I I think forty degrees is too cold so
[speaker001:] yeah little cold for you I know that's how I am too because I I love going outside and stuff when it's warmer and stuff but otherwise I won't I mean I won't go work out or I won't jog I won't go outside I'll just stay at home you know on the couch watching TV or renting movies or something
[speaker002:] yeah that's that's basically what I do I like I like to um to walk too I I guess they said it's a good form of exercise I guess uh if you consider that exercise I walk a lot
[speaker001:] yeah do you
[speaker002:] but I I have such a normal fast pace so it I don't really I don't really think it's
[speaker001:] it it's it's nothing or it could be your exercise for the week right
[speaker002:] right I because I mean I I've always walked fast so I I don't know I need to get on a some kind of exercise program though because I'm I'm starting to gain weight I'm getting at that age where you don't need to start putting on the pounds
[speaker001:] oh listen to you uh-huh they'll catch up with you
[speaker002:] yeah it it has caught up with me in the past year or so I've I've put on about twelve pounds so I need to work and get it off I thought about doing a diet but I really don't need to diet I I just need to
[speaker001:] really exercise
[speaker002:] exercise I think
[speaker001:] yeah it sort of that does make you feel better though I had to admit that you know after
[speaker002:] yeah because when I get off work I usually come home and fix dinner and watch TV and then I'm tired I take a nap whatever
[speaker001:] yeah yeah see after work I don't know I think if I worked all day there's no way I would do anything
[speaker002:] oh I work I work eight to five so I mean
[speaker001:] yeah so then when you're home you're like okay I just want to relax and not think about work and definitely not exercise you want to eat
[speaker002:] right I I do accounting and and it's on a computer all day and I'm so brain dead when I get off work it's kind of like just don't even talk to me just let me sit here and vegetate so
[speaker001:] yeah you're probably drained and probably exercising probably wouldn't help
[speaker002:] well I don't I don't know I they say once you once you get in a routine of exercising it gives you a lot more energy energy I know when I ran um I kind of got like addicted to it
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] you know you see these people um I never was die hard you know they they had a story on the news about uh people becoming addicted it's like uh people that do drugs it's it's a high for them
[speaker001:] that have to do it see I've heard that
[speaker002:] I've got a couple uh uh a real good friend of mine that I went to school with lives here too she works for The News and Observer and she's the one who got me started running in in college and I I was never
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] die hard like she was it was we had a sleet storm and she was outside running in it icicles hanging down and all this other kind of stuff and I I told her she was crazy but she runs about thirteen miles now
[speaker001:] oh my gosh yeah oh my gosh
[speaker002:] she's really training and I when we were in college we both chain smoked like freight trains and she would get out and run everyday and it never would bother her and it's like it don't bother me
[speaker001:] uh-huh hm
[speaker002:] and her husband made her stop after she got married her husband made her stop so so now she's just like
[speaker001:] really that'd be like
[speaker002:] channeling all of her energy into running now
[speaker001:] yeah that's good though but I just God
