[speaker002:] well do you exercise regularly Judy
[speaker001:] um I try to ride the stationary bicycle everyday about five miles
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and I love to walk so if I have a lunch hour with nice weather I get out and and walk what about you
[speaker002:] well um I uh exercise regularly I work at a university and I swim almost everyday
[speaker001:] uh very good
[speaker002:] upwards of a mile but Washington is one of my favorite places to visit uh my daughter lives in Arlington and when I go to visit her I love to get out on that bike trail and either ride the bike oh gosh you can ride a bike practically all the way to southern Virginia
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] or just get out and walk uh or even jog a little although I don't do that regularly but Washington's a great place to do that
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah there are there are lots of bike paths I know my son is a biker and he he's done the whole C and O canal I think it's a hundred and eighty miles with the scouts
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and so uh but that that somehow takes organization for me it's much easier just the stationary bike you know it's at home I can I can do some of my reading
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] um but
[speaker002:] do you live in the District
[speaker001:] no I live in Maryland
[speaker002:] uh-huh because I think there're so many parts of the District where it's not very safe to get out and walk
[speaker001:] right right and that's it um at work we have a a nice campus so I'm able to um take advantage of of the environment here um
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] the neighborhood also I mean we're within walking distance of of stores and shops so I do now I think um basically is your motive simply um health or because you enjoy it
[speaker002:] well it's uh it's really both I'm certainly driven by the desire to maintain my weight and be healthy and be in shape and uh and most of the time I enjoy it sometimes I don't but I feel that uh that the discipline it affords me when I do it when I don't wanna is also worth something
[speaker001:] um-hum right I think pretty much you've summed up my my my motivations also
[speaker002:] and I often find that even when I don't feel that much like exercising like I'll be really tired and I'll start swimming and I'll actually and I'll actually get energy and I'll be have much more energy when I'm done than when I started I mean I just feel great that happens to me probably one in four or five times that I swim
[speaker001:] oh well that's great that's great
[speaker002:] that's really a terrific feeling because you just go there at the end of the day and you figure God I'm ready for bed
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and you exercise and then it's sort of it's painful for a while but by the time you get done you're feeling really terrific
[speaker001:] right and actually in in summer I like to swim we don't have facilities for swimming in winter but um and and that's true when I go home from work at the end of the day if I go up for an hour in the pool I'm much much more awake I'm ready to work in the garden or whatever in the evening
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] so are can I just ask you are you Canadian
[speaker001:] no I'm not
[speaker002:] Philadelphia
[speaker001:] no
[speaker002:] I'm trying to because you have a you have one funny vowel that's probably gonna drive the TI people crazy you say out instead of out you say out
[speaker001:] oh really  no I don't know that but I I must say that um
[speaker002:] did you know that
[speaker001:] when when I did do a linguistics course in in school ages ago um the professor had a lot of trouble with my accent
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] and it's probably because I I was born in the Chicago area and grew up in California and at and at that point that was sort of a limit but but since then I've been abroad a lot so
[speaker002:] hm I see
[speaker001:] it's a mixture
[speaker002:] I know this isn't on our topic but where did you grow up in California
[speaker001:] in Santa Barbara
[speaker002:] oh okay because I grew up in North Hollywood California I went to UCLA and all that
[speaker001:] oh I see um-hum well very good and I think we've probably know know each other's exercise habits and um it was nice talking to you
[speaker002:] yes well same here thanks for calling bye
[speaker001:] oh okay bye bye
