To the guy that honked when I was running today....

Thanks!
I was about half way into my run and at the top of a really big hill, huffing and puffing and doubting whether I was going to do the full half hour. Some man that I've never seen before drove past and honked his horn three or four times. When I looked up he gave me a huge grin and a big thumbs up through the window!
No idea who you are or why you did it, but thanks! I smiled all the way to the end of my run.

So many threads like this conclude the guy is being creepy. What determines whether this is interpreted as supportive vs creepy? I'm guessing the guy wasn't bad looking...right?0
