    I think it is wonderful you got to tell her.

    It's an odd thing to hear you have inspired someone.

    She could have been having a very bad day etc and you may have just helped her keep on track.

    I know that when I hear that from people it makes it even easier to stay the course...they may be strangers but if you inspire strangers imagine how you make the people you know feel...and if you let people down...well...it's a reason to keep going.

    I love this story, and I love people like you. Taking the time to tell this woman what she did for you was a really generous act. Good for you! And I'll just bet that you're someone else's inspiration!

    Wish I had a good experience during my run. All I had was some nut in a truck ran a stop sign and tried to see how close he could come to me when I was crossing the street.

    Glad you are inspired. Please keep it up.

    Often times we have no idea how much what we do and who we be affects others.
