Still today I was able to hit the road and I had a pretty decent run. Not my fastest, not my best, but it wasn't my worst either. It was in the last mile though that I ran into some people I had met last year and they made me feel a lot better about my running.
I had met this couple at a wine dinner at a Walt Disney World restaurant. They were very nice and we soon found out that we lived in two communities that were side by side. Now, I had always looked out for them, but had never seen them. A few months roll by and I stop keeping an eye out.
Then today I see a couple who look oddly familiar and she waves me down. Sure enough it was the couple from the dinner. We talked for a bit and as we were leaving the wife tells me "You're running so well, so fast! You're looking good!"
That was all I needed to hear really. Personally I know I haven't been running my best or anywhere close to it, but to hear someone compliment me on my running... that makes me feel as though I'm running my best.
That is one of the reasons I always try to thank people, compliment them, or in the least smile. You never know when something small like that might help change someone's day. Today it certainly helped my running.
That is always a great thing to hear. I love it when people make my day like that too.
