Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
Spring
Many years ago, myself and a bunch of friends would take a spring vacation in Virginia Beach. It usually signaled the beginning of spring and we looked forward to it every year. We would eat, drink and participate in either an 8k running race or the full marathon.
I was running the full marathon. It was a warm and windy morning with the cherry trees emerging from their winter slumber.
I met this man at the starting line and we started some friendly endorphin driven chatter early in the race. The smell of the ocean was invigorating.
Matt
He told me his plan for the day was to propose to his girlfriend at the end of the race. We ran that entire race together. We finished in about three and a half hours.
He asked me to hand him the ring when he got down on one knee. Which I gladly did. Naturally she accepted his proposal. It was a pleasant three hours with an ending to remember.








I would love to hear you opinion as well
