Today I did a nice loop into the next valley and over a canyon for the return. When I crested the last hill I stopped to wipe my glasses before the descent. A woman was running up the road coming toward me. I never see runners up there, it's remote, steep, and it was hot today. She must have owned one of the cars I saw parked along the road.
Me: Hi, how far are you running?
Lady: Only about 6 miles.
So, no big deal, then?
No, no big deal. How far are you biking?
About 50.
So, no big deal?
No, not a big deal.
Ok, enjoy!
You, too!
I got a kick out of it and a smile, too.
