Speaker 1
My Jeep got a flat tire so I was stranded for 3 hours today!
Speaker 2
That sucks! Did you have any profound thoughts whilst you were stuck? 3 hours is such a long time to wait.
Speaker 1
No, no profound thoughts.  I basically just read some in a book I had luckily brought with me and waited.  
Speaker 2
Books are such a good way of passing the time. especially when you get lost in the world of the book. I find that with books though, it helps to have a vivid imagination. Do you have one?
Speaker 1
I guess so. I mean, I can image what the characters and the worlds in the books look like.  Do you have a good imagination?
Speaker 2
Unfortunately, no. My mind is a weird and wonderful place of... not very much if I am honest. I prefer reading more non-fiction books. I also love biographies. Do you read any biographies?
Speaker 1
No, I have to admit that I haven't.  Who have you read about?
Speaker 2
One of my favourites was Michelle Obama's. The insight it gave into the role of The First Lady was utterly fascinating. I suggest you give it a try 
Speaker 1
Maybe. I really prefer historical fiction to anything else. I like to read about the past, especially the Victorian era.  The present is a little depressing for me.
Speaker 2
One of my favourite quotes about the past and the present goes as follows - "The past is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is wonderful, that's why they call it the present". That is kind of my outlook on life now. What was the last historical fiction book you read?
Speaker 1
It was Emma by Jane Austen.  You're quote is interesting. It makes you think.  Who said it?
Speaker 2
It was in the film Kung Fu Panda, of ALL places. But I suppose, since it is aimed at children, it teaches them a way of having a positive outlook on life. Emma is renowned for being an amazing book, I should give it a try

Speaker 1
Have you read any biographies about people from Victorian times? I think those are the types of biographies I would find most appealing. 
Speaker 2
I probably should read a biography from the Victorian era. I usually read modern biographies. Like I just read one about Jane Goodall - I think you would love to hear how she studied primates.
Speaker 1
I think when I was a kid I watch Jane Goodall on PBS with my mom.
Speaker 2
Aw, that is nice. Chimps are such fascinating creatures. Do you have a favorite animal?
Speaker 1
nothing beats a pet dog, simple and accessible
Speaker 2
That is true. I was going to ask you about your workout routine - what's the best way to build muscle?
Speaker 1
I changed up the past month. I went more heavy on weight with less reps and more sets. The routine is the 5x5 one. I like it so far and feel like it is building muscles.
Speaker 2
That is great. Do you think being on a vegetarian diet makes it harder to build muscle? 
Speaker 1
it is a lot harder, that is why I wanted to change my routine. Plus I am starting to take a protein powder made out of peas.
Speaker 2
That's great. It's hard for me to imagine life without meat. Is your husband a vegetarian too?
Speaker 1
when we first met no but he is sort of and sort of not. When I am around he is but I am not sure when he is by himself, haha
Speaker 2
I guess he's a part-time vegetarian. I am sure since he's a lawyer it's hard to argue with him.

I finished my month of heavy weights in my training routine.
Speaker 2
How was that? Have you managed to build muscle?
Speaker 1
Yeah, I feel that I have been getting a little stronger. I have been training for a Powerlifting competition. 
Speaker 2
That is great. When is the competition?
Speaker 1
The competition is in a few months! I have competed in one a few years ago! I can wait to compete again. 
Speaker 2
Not long a way I see. How was the competition last time? Did you do well? Are you planning to beat your record?
Speaker 1
The competition went well last time. I was very nervous, but my friend ended up competing with me, so I felt better. I would like to beat my record. 
Speaker 2
That is good. Peer support can be very helpful. Is your friend competing as well this year?
Speaker 1
Yes, he agreed to compete with me, so we use each other as motivation to get through our tough workout sessions. 
Speaker 2
That is fantastic! You sound like you have a great support network. I know food is important for muscle building too. Are you eating a lot of protein and eggs?

Speaker 1
Have you read any new biographies recently that you would recommend.
Speaker 2
No, I'm taking a break to help edit/provide feedback on a friend's book. Can't wait to get back to reading for pleasure. Have you read any good historical fiction?
Speaker 1
Oh ok well that’s nice of you to help your friend out. I bet, I couldn’t imagine taking a break from reading I enjoy it so much. At the moment I’m reading a booking called The Victorian Dream. It very interesting to see the differences of the previous era’s. 
Speaker 2
That sounds interesting. I like to read about history but usually factual instead of fiction. I like reading about World War 2. Although it's kind of scary to see how easily war can happen.
Speaker 1
Yes I do enjoy reading both. Yes learning about the world war 2 was very eye opening. I couldn’t even imagine being in that time whilst that was happening. It is super scary to think about have easily a war can be started. I do hope one day the world will be at peace. 
Speaker 2
Me too. I guess humans adapt to their situations, but I hope I never have to adapt to that. How is training for the competition going?
Speaker 1
Yeah me too. It is going very well, I’m slowly seeing the progress and feel how strong I’m becoming. It’s defiant more work than I was expecting but I’m enjoying the training process non the less. 
Speaker 2
What is the training process like for powerlifting? Is it more than just lifting
Speaker 1
Mostly lifting weights, but also a little cardio. And a lot of eating, I think that parts the hardest I don’t think I have ever had to eat so much in my life haha. 
Speaker 2
That doesn't sound too bad. I could get the eating a lot part of training down pretty easily, although likely not the rest of it. I suppose it's a lot of complex carbs?
Speaker 1
Haha I wish it was easy for me. Yes a lot of carbs honestly a little too much for my liking, but I will do anything to up my chances at winning. How has your job been going? 
Speaker 2
Oh, it's fine, same old same old. The work is easy, and I don't hate it, but I'm starting to hate sitting all day. I'm not sure I can do this kind of job longterm.
