Sunday’s Run

Hi, Alison.

Oh,hi, Julian.Have you been training hard for Sunday's run for a cure for breast

cancer?

You bet! I have been running three times a week for over an hour each time.It's great.

I can't believe I've gotten to this point so quickly! Only six months ago I would run

for five minutes and almost collapse² in exhaustion³.

I hear you. I decided⁴ to run in this marathon because I needed a motivator to get

myself back into shape. During my pregnancy I gained a whopping eighty pounds

and I'm still trying to trim down. Also, I totally believe in the course.I know so many

poeple who have been touched by the disease.

Wow! Eighter pounds! That's nuts! Did you have triples?

No, just a big little boy. He was born 9 pounds, 5 ounces.Hi, Julian, what inspired

you to want to run this weekend?

Well, a bunch of my running buddies⁵ thought it would be a great idea. We all

started running at the same time and when we heard one of the guys' mother was

diagnosed with cancer, we thought the marathon was something positive we could do

as a group. It should be a lot of fun , and I've been collecting lot of sponsors from the

school. So I'll hopefuly make tons of money for the cause.

That's so cool, Julian.Hey, I've got to dash. I'll see you finish line on Sunday.
