Man when I'm a few miles in to a run, the last thing on my mind is having any form of meaningful conversation, particularly something that needs a bit of time and effort put into it.
I can't imagine what it would be like to keep putting one foot in front of the other, stay upright, try to not die, and still have to come up with a gentle way of letting someone down.
Next time on "Time and a Place": asking a pilot out to dinner during an emergency landing.
