I say job well done, bask in the glory. Her comment about your being fit due

I was wondering what you were upset about, reading through that topic post!

There IS a difference which comes with aging, though, for most of us at least. We more and more come to understand that our performance in comparison to others is a minor consideration, and our performance in relation to ourselves is the thing we are best being concerned about.

There's an aspect of "she was rude and inconsiderate" about the description of that young lady. SHE wanted to go walking, and needed a companion to go walking with. SHE was the one not prepared to walk at a pace which suited her walking companion. I'm glad you left her gob-smacked! The next outing should be at YOUR preferred pace!
