TODD
OK, uh, Tim, we're going to talk about running.
TODD
Now, we've been running the last couple of nights.
TODD
Yeah, and, uh, you’re much faster than me. You're a fast runner. Umm, how often do you run?
TIM
Uh, 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!) And I started running and I ran all the way through, uh, the university.
TODD
OK. So what events did you do?
TIM
Middle distance, middle distance which is 1,500 meters to uh, 5,000 meters.
TODD
Wow! Are you a better short distance runner or long distance runner?
TIM
Middle distance runner.
TODD
Middle distance. OK, how far is a middle distance?
TIM
Oh, 1,500 meters, about.
TODD
1,500. (TIM: Yeah.) OK! Uh, what's your fastest time in the 1,500 meters?
TODD
Three minutes and forty seven seconds.
TIM
Yeah. I did that in high school actually. I wasn't so fast in the university.
TODD
Now I don't feel so bad when you run so much faster than me…(I didn’t know that)
TIM
(Uh, I'm slowing down). I've been uh, 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?
TODD
27. Oh, OK. So, do you think you'll be running your whole life?
TIM
I think so, yeah. I grew up running in the woods, every day in the woods, and so I really wanna get back to running in the woods every day. I think it’s really healthy thing to do.
TODD
Yeah. That's nice. OK. Thanks a lot, Tim.
