Very well thank you! I just dropped off my kids at school.
Speaker 2
I hope they are great students, I know its hard maintaining my straight a's.
Speaker 1
They can be a handful, but they are good kids. Any fun hobbies?
Speaker 2
Well, I do enjoy music, my father works in the steel industry so I want better.
Speaker 1
Then you should pursue it! I work for myself at the moment..
Speaker 2
Is that profitable? I'm a track runner in my high school but the olympics is pretty lofty.
Speaker 1
It can be, I rent out and maintain several homes. Tenants can be a pain.
Speaker 2
My mother is a stay at home mom so that may be an avenue she should explore.
Speaker 1
If she is looking for work, I could use a hand! We could be a mom duo!
Speaker 2
That's awesome! She's a pretty dedicated woman. My inspiration!
Speaker 1
Moms are great, but I am a bit biased! Do you guys have a family movie night?
Speaker 2
Not really, dad spends a lot of his time providing for us, hence my gpa.

Speaker 2
I did have a track meet! It went really well. I'm excited about it. How was business today?
Speaker 1
Great, how did it go? Business could be going better but it is a bit stressful.
Speaker 2
It went very well. Sorry it was so stressful. What happened?
Speaker 1
It is just difficult running a business on your own, I am going to ask my mom for some advice since she's good at that stuff. How's your mom doing?
Speaker 2
She has been doing well. It is great that you can go to you're mom with those questions. How about her? She doing well? 
Speaker 1
Yes, I am lucky to have a good relationship with her. My mom is fine thanks, she has been helping me out with babysitting, I am grateful.
Speaker 2
That must be so helpful. How are the kids? It is great that she gets to spend so much time with them. 
Speaker 1
They are great, my eldest has moved away for college. 
Speaker 2
I can imagine that is difficult! What school?
Speaker 1
She went to Stanford. Are you planning on going to college in the future?
Speaker 2
I definitely am. I would love to go to Stanford. I'm split between there and UC Berkeley. Assuming I get in of course.

Speaker 1
I'm going shopping with my daughter
Speaker 2
Have fun shopping with your daughter. Where are you going to take her shopping at?
Speaker 1
I think we will just walk around the mall today. She needs some new clothes. What are you up to today?
Speaker 2
That sounds like fun. I have to go to a track meeting after school. How many children do you have?
Speaker 1
I have 2 daughters. Only one is at home now. Wow, I bet you are a really good runner to be on the track team.
Speaker 2
Yes, I am pretty good at running. I was not very good at first but practice helped me so much. How old are your girls?
Speaker 1
Really? That gives me hope. My daughters are 20 and 16. So, do you think if I start practicing running I can get good at it? Or is it genetics?
Speaker 2
Yes, I think that if you start slow each day and build yourself up over time, then you should be able to be come better at it. So do you like running?
Speaker 1
Honestly I've always hated running, but I like the idea of a sport that you can do alone and requires no equipment. It seems like it'd be pretty convenient to like.
Speaker 2
I did not like it to much at first either. But it really helps me clear my head and if I am not at school and run I always put headphone in and listen to music. Clears the mind, also helps me stay in shape.
Speaker 1
Exactly, I can imagine. I always struggle with headphone when I'm exercising though. They always seem to fall out of my ear. Have you found good ones that don't fall out?
Speaker 2
I try and use the cordless ones because I am not always pulling on the string making them fall out.

Speaker 1
I bought myself some running shoes when I went shopping. But I still haven't worked up the motivation to go running.
Speaker 2
That's a great first step! What do you think is preventing you from getting out there and giving it a try?
Speaker 1
I think once I start I will be fine, I just don't have the motivation to start. Work has been a little busy, and my daughter at Stanford is having some trouble with her room mates. I need to start running for some me time.
Speaker 2
I think that taking time for yourself each day to get out and run will be really beneficial! What is going on with your daughter and her roommates? 
Speaker 1
My daughter is on the clean side, apparently her roommate is not :) Hey, did I mention I got those wireless headphones you suggested. Neat little things. Can't wait to try them out. 
Speaker 2
Oh I see, I hope they can work it out! Maybe they can come up with a chore list/schedule to post on the fridge or something? I am so glad you got the headphones! It will be great for your runs to zone out to some music or listen to podcasts.
Speaker 1
Wow, I suggested the same thing... a chore list. Great minds think alike. I have downloaded some music to run too, guess that's a start right?
Speaker 2
For sure! What type of music have you downloaded? Who is your favorite musician?
Speaker 1
I secretly love the new dance music, perhaps that's the kids influence. But I did download some old tunes like AC/DC and disco to get the blood flowing
Speaker 2
Haha, I love it! That is great music to run to, it will really get you hyped up! Maybe your 16 year old can run with you as well? You could keep each other motivated!
Speaker 1
I have asked her, but I suspect she doesn't want to be seen with me. One day she'll see me as cool again LOL
Speaker 2
Oh right, I guess she is at that age! She will grow out of it and you two will be best friends again when she comes to her senses!

I have a good relationship with mom. My child went to college. I have a daughter that went to Stanford. My daughter has trouble with her roommates. My daughter is clean and her roommate is messy. I believe my daughter's troubles can be mitigated through planning and delegation of responsibilities. My interest in running is to allow me to take time for myself. I have 2 daughters. I only have 1 daughter at home. My daughters are 20 and 16. I hate running. I would like to enjoy running. My headphones fall out when I exercise. I do not currently run but am trying to get into running. I am not motivated to run. My work is busy. I think music will help with running. I love new dance music but am ashamed about it. I like AC/DC and disco. I have a 16 year old daughter. She is ashamed of how uncool I am.

I like music. I am a student in high school. I have a good gpa. I am on the track team. I have a mother who is a stay at home mom. I like my mom. I want to go to Stanford.

I listen to music while I run. I stay in shape by running. I like cordless headphones. I think dance music is good to run to.
Speaker 1
I went for my first run. It was difficult but the dance music helped and I felt cool in my cordless headphones. 
Speaker 2
That's good! It'll get better as you do it more. Did you feel like it cleared your head at all?
Speaker 1
Yes, very much! Running has helped me deal with a lot of the stress I've had. Running a business and raising my youngest daughter is always a handful. I think I'll listen to dance music when I do some other things to relax. How about you? What have you been up to?
Speaker 2
I had my track meeting which went well. We have a track meet soon that I am practicing for. I think I am going to try for a personal best time. I'm hoping that running can help me get into college.
Speaker 1
That's good. I know you want to go to Stanford or UC Berkeley. Those schools will be hard to get into, so hopefully you'll do well at your meet. What do you do for exercise to stay in shape?
Speaker 2
I mostly just run to stay in shape, but I do a little bit of strength training as well so I don't leave out the rest of my body. I also eat healthy as well to stay in shape. Have you been eating healthy as well as running? I found that once I started eating better running became easier and I was less stressed. 
Speaker 1
It's hard for me to eat healthy because I'm always so busy. I think I'll start prepping meals to make it easier on myself. I like eating salad and vegetables. I just need the time to prepare them. What do you eat to stay fit?
Speaker 2
Luckily, I have my parents that mostly cook for me so that I can eat healthy even while I'm busy. I like to eat vegetables, rice, and some form of protein. I also enjoy protein shakes in the morning. It really helps me getting started for the day.
Speaker 1
That sounds good. But do you ever splurge or indulge yourself? I like a good burger when I get the chance. I love pizza, too. Someone young like you must enjoy yourself from time to time!
Speaker 2
Oh absolutely! After track meets, all of the runners go out and we practically stuff ourselves with pizza. Whenever my parents and I go out to dinner instead of cooking, I usually get something less healthy as well. I love burgers too. They're my guilty pleasure. What do you do for enjoyment? Running can't be the only way that you have time for yourself.
Speaker 1
Well, I don't like running much. The music is doing me wonders though. I love listening to dance music because I love to dance. Lately I haven't had time to do that either though. How about you? What do you do to unwind?
