I like to go running. I work at a candy company. I am training to run a marathon. I can run a full marathon. I am traveling to Tennessee for a race.
I am not into fitness. I work at a bank. My father also worked at a bank.  My father died. My wife died. My mom died. My dog died.
I had a long day at my candy job and on top of that I had to train for my marathon so I'm exhausted today. I can only imagine. I get tired from just working. I can imagine training for marathon on top of my job. How long have you been training? I've been train for 2 months. I love it because it gets me outside. I meet a lot of people with the same interests as well. Hmm that's interesting. I do tend to get into a depression, just going from work to home from home to work. I feel like I lack community. Hearing that exercise is an outlet to community is persuading me to possibly look into it. I don't know if I can do a marathon, but I may could start small. I've never really been into fitness though. Where would you advise I start? If you have a safe neighborhood you could just start with a 20 minute walk. Maybe go on the site meet up and see if anyone in your neighborhood wants a walking partner. I will walk with you if it's not too far. Wow. I would love to have you as my "teacher". I just wouldn't want to hold you back, since you are more into running. To be honest, I think it would be best to have you as partner, rather than a random stranger. I would feel more comfortable with someone I know. I hear you. You would not be holding me back! I always have time for a walk! That's not work to me. That is more relaxation and rest. That's so kind of you! I tend to work from 9-5, so I should be free to walk around 6. How often do you suggest I walk a week?  To start out I would do three times week of brisk walking for about 20 minutes. next month do it for 40 minutes and add a day or two if you want. Eventually you will be walking every day for how ever long you can push yourself. Maybe start jogging once you get the hang of it. Hmm that sounds like a very health progression that won't stress my body out too much. There is so much information out there that I'm not sure I can trust, so I am glad that I have you to lean on for this information. I can't believe I'm excited to start exercising. My past self would be shocked. Maybe it will make those long days at work more bearable. How long have you been living healthily like this? About 20 years. Once you get past the muscle pains at the beginning and you start to notice how much more energy you have, I think you will live this way for the rest of your life. Yeah, it will take some time to make it an actual habit. I can't wait to get to place where it does't feel like "work". Hopefully, I can stay motivated. With your friendship and help, I think that will not be as much of a problem as it has been in the past.
