Compassionate Surprise!! :)

As you may be aware I am an avid runner.  I run with a running group on Wednesdays and Sunday's.  I recently split from the slower group to the faster group.  So I went from the top of my old group to the bottom of my new group.  So basically I'm last all the time.  Wednesday night is our speed and strength workout.  I'm in the middle of nowhere.  I'm faster than the B group, but slower than the A group.  During our long Sunday runs I hold my own.  I'm consistent over the downs, the flats and the ups, but most of my group is really strong on the ups, but perhaps have trouble with the downs.

Anyways, Wednesday was all about the hills.  So I fell behind in my group.  My 1/2 hr took a little longer than the rest of the group so I was faced with doing my cool down by myself.  When I got to the bottom my group was just finishing their cool down.  But I saw a couple starting a loop.  So I ran to catch up.  And would 't you know.  The girl sees me and says "oh I am so glad you are here!  I asked 'Kevin' to run another cool down loop with me because I hadn't seen you yet and my worst fear is that everyone will leave without me and I didn't want that to happen to you."

Can you find Lucy!!

Is that not compassion!?  Compassion and kindness like you want to experience it, and compassion like you want to give it!.  Thanks Lucy!!  Appreciated it!! 💛
