Notes
Felt about the same as yesterday, and I think the run went about exactly the same except for one thing. I had my first celebrity encounter since I started working here. I was doing my usual run up along the Hudson when I see this guy walking who I am 95% sure is Victor Garber (aka Jack Bristow from Alias or the Titanic's builder) I look at him as I run by and he looks back at me and I think he is giving me the "oh here's another guy who thinks he recognizes me but is not sure" look. So I keep on running and I am hoping as is often the case, I will see him again when I turn around and head back to work. Sure enough, as I get closer to my building, I see him again. This time, I am 100% certain it is him so I give him a nod, a smile and an "alright!". He gives me a head nod and a smile back and now I am running with this silly grin on my face because I just saw Victor Garber who I happened to really like in Alias. The funniest part of all this, is that I'm wearing my heart monitor the whole time and running really slow to keep my heart rate below 141. Occasionally, it creeps up higher and then my watch beeps and I'll see it's at 143 and I'll slow down. Well, right after I pass him my watch starts beeping and I look down and my heart rate is 151! I guess I was that excited to see him again? This really cracked me up so then I was running once again with this stupid smile for the next couple minutes. That's the highlight of my week :)
