I was walking down the street near my home on an evening
He was out on an evening run and was making some really incredible time.
I was out walking, trying to get a bit of exercise, and I think he could tell.
My pace was the 20-minute mile and he was running a 5-minute mile, but as he passed he put his fist in the air and pumped it. Twice.
And it seems like a really small gesture but everything he was able to communicate in that relatively subtle action is remarkable.
And sure, maybe he didnβt intend everything that I read, but this is what I felt him say with that move.
- I see you
- Weβre both out here gettinβ it done!
- Donβt quit
- Iβll be here again tomorrow. Will you?
Well fist-pumping stranger, yes, I will.

Though very small, his gesture & your reception are absolute proof that little things really do matter… and, we all need each other. π
Are you sure he wasnβt hitting on you? I mean you are a very sexy guy, he could have just been looking for a little Ryan love!
