Speaker 1
Hello, I just finished my daily run outside.
Speaker 2
Cool, do you compete running or just stay fit.
Speaker 1
Just do it exercise and leisure! What do you do?
Speaker 2
I play video games, mostly with friends.
Speaker 1
Cool, I have never played video games but I would to try.
Speaker 2
League of legends is my favorite and alistar is my favorite champion.
Speaker 1
I have heard of league of legends my friends play that.
Speaker 2
Last month I bought a new gaming laptop which is really cool.
Speaker 1
Wow, I don't enjoy computer games that much. I like to be outside.
Speaker 2
I understand, do you do exercise other than running.
Speaker 1
I like to swim too, I also enjoy walking my dog..
Speaker 2
Swimming is good for you too.

How has the new gaming laptop been working for you when you play League of Legends?
Speaker 2
It's been great. Works really well, great visuals. I know you're not a gamer, but I'd highly recommend the brand if you were ever in the market for a computer.
Speaker 1
You are right, but all my friends like to play! I just got through with my first marathon. It was a real challenge.
Speaker 2
Oh gosh I can only imagine! How did you feel at the end of it?
Speaker 1
I was drained and dehydrated. I always run at a faster pace when I'm in a crowd of people and it really got to me. 
Speaker 2
I have to admit, I've never been much of a runner unless I'm being chased, lol! I do enjoy swimming, though.
Speaker 1
That's another one of favorite activities. I'm a better runner than a swimmer however. 
Speaker 2
Swimming feels so good on my knees. They get so sore. Have you ever tried getting your dog to swim with you?
Speaker 1
Yes! I go some in the lake and my dog loves it. I guess it is true. Dogs are man's best friend. 
Speaker 2
Haha, my poor dog is so ridiculous. She's terrified of a bath, but she loves to jump into a muddy lake.
Speaker 1
I need to take a run or swim tomorrow before I get too lazy!!!
Speaker 2
Now that it's getting warmer swimming will feel really good.

Speaker 1
My dog and I are checking out a new lake this weekend. Hopefully it isn't too muddy.
Speaker 2
Sound fantastic, what kind of dog do you have?
Speaker 1
I have a Sheltie, a Shetland Sheepdog. His name is Buddy. How about you? What kind of dog do you have?
Speaker 2
A Labrador Retriever which explains jumping in a muddy lake. I bet it takes forever to dry Buddy out after a swim.
Speaker 1
It sure does. Luckily, he doesn't like to go swimming. He mostly stands in the shallow water and barks while I swim. Labs love the water don't they? Funny that yours doesn't like the bath, though.
Speaker 2
The only thing I can imagine is that bath water is too clean for her. Shelties are really big, aren't they? What do you drive him around in?
Speaker 1
Yeah, and maybe the enclosed space is a little freaky for her. Shelties are mid-sized. They are like little Lassie dogs. Buddy is about 25 pounds, so he fits in the backseat of my car just fine. I own a Honda Accord, so Buddy just hangs in the backseat.
Speaker 2
Oh, that's a great size for a dog. I bet he's the best running companion, can he run a whole marathon with you?
Speaker 1
Shelties are more of a sprinter type dog. Not made for long distance. They were bred to herd sheep, so lots of starts and stops. I don't take Buddy with me when I run, as he slows me down! Ha! Does your dog swim with you?
Speaker 2
I guess you could say we start swimming together, but she quickly out paces me and if there is any waterfowl, she's just gone. 
Speaker 1
I can just picture that! Buddy is the same with cats. When he sees one, he's off. Luckily, he's pretty obedient, so he doesn't go far. He's a working dog, so he's happiest when he has a "job". 
Speaker 2
What sort of jobs have you invented for him? Retrievers, you know, just bring things back so there is no imagination needed.

Speaker 1
Have you competed in any League of Legends tournaments?
Speaker 2
No, but I've thought about it before. I don't know if I'm good enough to do very well just yet, haha. Have any of your other friends done it?
Speaker 1
I heard a friend's friend's friend doing it and that's really cool, but yeah I haven't met anyone in person doing that. 
Speaker 2
Ah okay. I know video games aren't really your thing so that's cool. So are you going to sign up for another marathon? I always think it'd be cool to do one but it's so hard on my knees.
Speaker 1
I'm going to sign up for this winter because I have never done it in winter before (which is obvious since I have only done one in the spring). Honestly I'm kinda afraid of the cold but I think the point is to challenge myself. Would you want to try doing a marathon at some point?
Speaker 2
Maybe, but I'm not sure. I really am concerned about my knees. I could probably walk one but I'm not sure about the running.
Speaker 1
That's understandable, definitely take great cares of your knees! A lot of people didn't take care of their knees when they were young regretted it deeply when they were older.
Speaker 2
I still like swimming though! Me and the dog took a swim out at the lake this past weekend, actually. It was great.
Speaker 1
OH yeah how was your dog doing? I remember you said how your dog is terrified of the bath, so I'm surprised that she can swim well!
Speaker 2
She's weird like that. She likes the lake but not the tub or the groomer. I think it's the soap. 
Speaker 1
Haha she's sure an interesting dog with some tempers! My dog just hates water, whether it be lake or river or ocean or bathtub water, so it's funny to see him try to escape every time!
Speaker 2
There's nothing like a wet, soapy dog streaking through the room, right?

My dog and I went swimming at a lake last weekend and it was great. My dog likes the lake but not the tub or groomer.
Speaker 1
Did you buy the gaming laptop just for League of Legends or are there other games you also play?
Speaker 2
For right now just the League of Legends, but I'm sure my friends will help me find other games to play. Since you run and swim, have you ever considered doing a triathlon?
Speaker 1
I have definitely thought about it! I just have never found a bike that really fits. It also doesn't help that really good competitive bikes can be very pricey. Do you ever bike? I hear it can be easier on your knees.
Speaker 2
I do bike, but not enough to be competitive. My dog likes to run along side when I bike, but she prefers swimming. Since I tend to take my dog everywhere that I can we end up swimming more often than biking. It's unfortunate that Buddy doesn't like to swim with you.
Speaker 1
It really is.  I'd love to have a dog that I could hit the beach with, even just for fun. I really enjoy watching people surf with their dogs. I don't really think I'd have the balance on a surfboard, though. Have you ever tried it?
Speaker 2
I haven't tried surfing, but I love watching the people surf with their dogs too! The dogs always look so happy. I'm sure my dog would love to go surfing. She'd probably be better at it than I would, haha!
Speaker 1
That's awesome! I do envy how wonderfully positive most dogs can be. Anything they want to try they just dive right into. Oh, to be that fearless! I also own an old tomcat who is definitely NOT that fearless. He's a lazy jerk. Do you have any other pets?
Speaker 2
Haha, your cat sounds like he's just living his best life! I don't have any other pets. My dog is so spoiled that she probably wouldn't want to share the attention with any other pets anyway. 
Speaker 1
You would think that Salem (the old tom) would be like that, but he and Buddy are literally best friends--so long as you aren't looking.  I've caught them snuggled up together too many times to count. If they know I'm looking, though, they pretend to hate each other.
Speaker 2
Ah, I see :) I'm sure it would be so embarrassing for Salem to get caught being friends with a dog. I've thought about getting a cat in the past. Do you think they are easier or harder to have around compared to a dog?
Speaker 1
Oh, definitely easier, 99% of the time. A cat only demands things of you when they want something specific (food, water, scratches, clean litter), but will totally ignore you a lot of the rest of the time. Buddy wants to be by my side 24/7. I also save on boarding when I travel because the cat can take care of himself. I always have to find Buddy a place to stay so he can be walked, etc. I'm definitely a dog person, but cats are chill in a whole different way. 
Speaker 2
That makes sense. Cats always see so self-sufficient. Like they could totally be on their own but decide to keep you around anyway, haha! And my dog is the same way, she always wants to be next to me which is why I end up doing so many dog friendly activities. If my knees were better I might try and find a short triathlon I could do with my dog.
