I am doing well. I just completed my first marathon as I love running.
Speaker 1
Congrats. I stay in now. I'm older and I lead a quiet life.
Speaker 2
Thanks. I understand completely. What do you do for a living?
Speaker 1
Tacks. Im a senior now. I have eight grand kids. So time with them..
Speaker 2
That's very nice. Where did you grow up?
Speaker 1
I basically grew up in a library. My mom was a librarian. How about you?
Speaker 2
That is awesome I grew up in alaska with my parents.
Speaker 1
That's cool. Very cold I bet. Lots of mountains.
Speaker 2
Yes, wearing pants is my favorite. What foods do you enjoy eating?
Speaker 1
That's cool. Pizza you?
Speaker 2

Yeah got to love hamburger and pork.

I run. I did a marathon. I lived in Alaska. I like wearing pants. I like meat.
Speaker 1
How are you feeling after that marathon? 
Speaker 2
My legs are extremely sore, but it felt so good to cross that finish line.
Speaker 1
That's an amazing achievement, despite the soreness! Do you plan on doing another one anytime soon?
Speaker 2
I am definitely going to rest up from this one as I finished it recently, then I'll start training for another one that I'll do a few months down the road.
Speaker 1
What would you suggest a novice runner do if he/she wants to prepare for a marathon? A few of my grandkids are at that age where it's a possibility.
Speaker 2
The bigges thing is when you start training do a little more each week. You will not get to the whole 26.2 miles on your first run, so start small and work your way up
Speaker 1
I'll let them know! One of them is way too ambitious for his own good. His eyes are bigger than his stomach, and not only when he's eating!
Speaker 2
Haha that is too funny. Are you always ordering them pizza when they are over?
Speaker 1
I used to, but none of their mothers approve of it! They're a health-conscious bunch!
Speaker 2
I feel that, definitely a good thing to be health-conscious, but I got to ask. What is your favorite pizza topping?
Speaker 1
I'm pretty simple. I just like plain old cheese and pepperoni! It's hard to mess that up!
Speaker 2
Yes! I totally agree with you there. That is the perfect combination.

Speaker 2
I run. I recently did a marathon. I plan on doing another marathon in a few months. I lived in Alaska. I like wearing pants. I like meat. I believe eating healthy is good. I like cheese and pepperoni pizza.
Speaker 1
Did you run a lot when you lived in Alaska? 
Speaker 2
Yes but it was on an indoor track. Too cold outside most days.
Speaker 1
I would run if I was a little younger! But now I'm old and I don't get out very much, other than to play with the grandkids from time to time. Have you been practicing for your upcoming marathon?
Speaker 2
Running is a good way to stay feeling young. How old are your grandkids? Running around with them is like running a marathon I imagine.
Speaker 1
My grandchildren and 4 and 8 years old, and yes, I believe they keep me healthy enough! Where did you end up moving to after you left Alaska?
Speaker 2
I moved to GA wanted to get to a warmer climate. 
Speaker 1
Oh, nice. Georgia is a lovely place. I imagine you get lots of time to practice now that you are somewhere with warm weather most of the year! 
Speaker 2
It is not as pretty as Alaska, but I do get a lot more practice outside. Are you a warm weather person?
Speaker 1
I prefer it warm so I don't have to spend too much on heating costs! My mother was a librarian in Florida, so I moved down here when I retired to be nearer to her. The weather here is beautiful year round.
Speaker 2
FL is way to warm for me! Great place to retire and being close to your mom is a bonus.  
Speaker 1
I agree. I'm curious, but how long is the marathon you are running in the coming months? Do you feel that you are prepared?
Speaker 2
26 miles is the norm for a marathon. I am prepared and confident I will place in the 25.

Speaker 1
What is your next running goal after this upcoming marathon? Do you think you will still be running when you are old?
Speaker 2
My running goal is to place in the top 10 and try to win a cash prize, When i'm old I will continue the days of running and throw some chillaxing with pizza
Speaker 1
I love pizza! Plain cheese and pepperoni is cool -- never liked Hawaiian pizza, even in 100 degree heat.
Speaker 2
Same, i don't understand why pineapple goes on pizza? what type of weather do u like?
Speaker 1
I like balmy weather, not scorching and not freezing. May I ask what weather you like to run best?
Speaker 2
I love cold, since i used to be in alaska, I don understand why people like hot weather
Speaker 1
I can see why runners don't like to sweat, though I don't embrace the cold too much -- it's much harder to get out of bed if the air feels like ice all around.
Speaker 2
I love running and reading books, they are my 2 favorite hobbies, not including eating though
Speaker 1
I swear, having to cook the same meals with a palate of kale and arugula for my grandkids makes me reconsider my love for eating too.
Speaker 2
Nice, your grandkids sound a bit picky like me when it comes to food
Speaker 1
Though, I am interested in how you eat when you train for marathons/half marathons. Carb loading isn't doing me too much good here.
Speaker 2
We have to eat healthy such as salads most of the time, usually, I eat pizza on my cheat days though

Speaker 1
Since talking to you, I decided to go out for a short run. It felt very good and I might make it weekly habit. It was nice to go out after being cooped up at home.
Speaker 2
That's amazing! How far did you end up going? I can tell you the first week of running is the hardest.
Speaker 1
To be honest, I'm not sure. I don't have one of those smart watches or anything but I think I went for about 20 minutes. It was exhausting!
Speaker 2
That's a pretty good distance for your first time out. Hopefully you stretched before you headed out. It's very important!
Speaker 1
I did a bit, but I definitely feel a bit worn out now. Do you know how long you're supposed to stretch so you don't get too sore?
Speaker 2
i think it's different for everyone but I stretch for 5 - 10 minutes, focusing on my legs/lower back.
Speaker 1
I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I stretched enough! How long do you think it might take me to do a marathon? It sounds pretty hard.
Speaker 2
I think if you worked at building your endurance you could do it. It takes a while to build up though. If you stick at it!
Speaker 1
I don't think I'll ever win prizes like you, but maybe it's a good goal to work toward. Maybe unrealistic with my age but I'll ask the doctor.
Speaker 2
They make different marathons for different people, if you are worried about age, etc. We could run a 5K together to start.
Speaker 1
That would be amazing! I don't have anybody to run with but I bet it would be more fun to run with someone else. Do you listen to music when you run?
Speaker 2
If I am running by myself I listen to music, if we were running, I woudn't.
