['I participated in a marathon with my friend last week', 'Wow that is impressive! how long did you train for it?', '1 month of training. And it would have been if I actually finished it. I had to stop halfway through', 'Oh no! did you get hurt?', "My foot started to bother me but mostly it's because my asthma was preventing me from getting enough air"]
That is scary! I am glad you played it safe and decided to stop! there is always another marathon to run!
