Tim: Well now I only run about four days a week. But, when I was younger everyday.

Todd: Oh, really. Wow! Did you run in high school or college?

Tim: I ran, I started when I was six years old.

Todd: No kidding!

Tim: And I started running and I ran all through the university.

Todd: Really!

Tim: Yeah!

Todd: OK. So what events did you do?

Tim: Middle distance, middle distance which is 1,500 meters to 5,000 meters.

Tim: Yeah. I did that in high school actually. I wasn't so fast in the university.

Todd: Oh, wow, man you can fly?

Yeah.

Tim: Todd: No I don't feel so bad when you run so much faster than me.

Tim: I've been slowing down. I've been drinking beer so I don't run so fast anymore.

Todd: Yeah, we're getting older. Actually, um, I'm 33. How old are you?

I'm 27.

Todd: 27. Oh, OK. So, do you think you'll be running your whole life?

Todd: Yeah. That's nice. OK. Thanks a lot, Tim.
