  1. A

    Alas-otso pa lang ng umaga, paika-ika ka na. Ilang kilometro na naman 'yan?

    It's only eight in the morning and you're already limping. How many kilometers was it this time?

  2. B

    Thirty lang. Okay lang ako, kailangan ko lang ng almusal.

    Just thirty. I'm fine, I just need breakfast.

  3. A

    Okay? Nagkakapaltos ka na, natanggal ang isang kuko mo, at hindi na tayo nakakapag-date tuwing Sabado.

    Fine? You keep getting blisters, you lost a toenail, and we don't get to go out on Saturdays anymore.

  4. B

    Normal 'yan sa training. Hindi naman ako nagkakasakit, a.

    That's normal in training. It's not like I'm getting sick.

  5. A

    Dalawang buwan pa bago ang marathon, Daniel. Ganyan ka na ngayon pa lang?

    The marathon is still two months away, Daniel. And you're already like this?

  6. B

    Sige, sige. Pahinga muna ang tuhod ko ngayong linggo.

    Okay, okay. My knees get the week off.

  7. A

    Mabuti. Sa Sabado, mag-date tayo, basta walang takbuhan.

    Good. On Saturday, we're going on a date, and no running.
