Being a good listener

Jonathan: Hi, Jo. How's it going?
Jo: Hi, Jonathan. Good, thanks!
Jonathan: Great. Did you have a good weekend?
Jo: Erm, I had an excellent weekend, thank you, yeah.
Jonathan: Great. Well, what did you get up to?
Jo: Erm, I think the highlight for me was a bike ride. So, I think I told you that, erm, I'm injured and I can't walk very far, 
Jonathan: Yeah–
Jo: But I've discovered that I can cycle. 
Jonathan: OK.
Jo: So, that's great. So we just went up the coast. It took up about half an hour to get from Barcelona to Badalona, which is also by the sea. Had a lovely lunch up there. It was all great, a sunny day, but actually the best part for me was on the way back. Erm, because, by the time we had to leave, these big, black clouds had rolled over, erm, and we could see that there was a storm coming very clearly, and very fast.
Jonathan: No way!
Jo: Yeah. So, the journey that took us about an hour and half to get there, on the way back we did in about half an hour, as fast as we could and we just, we raced the storm, erm, back down the coast, and it was, it was just so exciting to me because every time I started to feel those first drops of rain, and it was like, ah, it's catching us, it's catching us, so we were pedalling furiously, even faster and it didn't get us. We got all the way back to the shop in Barcelona where we hired the bikes and, literally, the moment we got back to the shop, got under the shelter, there was a huge crack of thunder, the heavens opened and it was just absolutely torrential rain. Erm, so I was euphoric. We were so happy with that. It was like, yes, we've beaten the storm.
Jonathan: Oh my goodness! Yes, just in time, just in time.
Jo: Yeah. It was literally just at that same moment, so I was completely triumphant, and euphoric as well, probably from all the endorphins from the exercise too.
Jonathan: Yeah, right, yeah. You must have been really excited to just get there in time.
Jo: Yeah, definitely. That was my ... definitely the highlight of my, er, life! (laughs) No, of my weekend definitely, I've been telling everybody all week.
Jonathan: Ah, amazing. And was your injury OK?
Jo: Yeah, it was, thank you. Yeah, amazingly, cycling doesn't seem to affect it. Er, walking is really bad, but the bike is completely fine, maybe even good for it. So, yeah, all in all, an excellent experience.
Jonathan: Oh, good for you. Well, then, like, just to check I've understood it correctly. I guess then, like, I guess the main point is that you've found this new form of exercise and you that you seem to really enjoy riding a bike and you can go outside, and it doesn't seem to, erm, your injury doesn't seem to be a problem. But also you had this really, like, thrilling experience of trying to escape the storm and you just got back to the bike shop with moments to spare. Like, were those the … did I understand the main points correctly?
Jo: Exactly, definitely. Yes, so the context is the injury – that's why it was so important to me and such a positive experience. And you're completely right that it was the excitement of just ... with moments to spare was very satisfying. So, yeah, I've feel like you've understood completely. Yeah.
Jonathan: Oh amazing. Oh, OK, well I'm glad. Well, yeah, thanks for sharing your exciting story.
Jo: And thank you for listening.
