Sarah: Happy New Year Michael! How are things?
Michael: It’s been great! I have set a plan for the new year!
Sarah: Oh let’s hear it!
Michael: I have always wanted to run a marathon. I’m finally going to do it this year! I’ve resolved to set up a training plan and build up my running times bit by bit.
Sarah: That sounds exciting but also manageable. Does that count as your New Year’s resolution?
Michael: You could say so, Sarah. My first marathon will be in the fall.
Sarah: When you actually do it, I imagine your feelings of accomplishment for sticking to your goal will be so awesome. All the best, Michael!
Michael: Thank you! I need all the encouragement I can get.
