I go jogging twice a week. ,M: Can you tell me a good place to go jogging near here? ,F: Sure, the long coast path along the beach is a perfect place for jogging. ,M: Coast path. Sounds nice. Is it far from here? Can I walk there? ,F: Yes, it's only a 5 minute ride from here. ,M: Oh, I see. Anything in particular I should know about jogging there? ,F: Emm, yeah, just be sure to wear sunglasses there.
