Ever since I saw someone who was either Alec Baldwin or a crazy man (or... both?) on a bike on my normal running path a few weeks ago, I've been on hyper-alert for celebrity sightings. And lo and behold! Yesterday evening, running around the reservoir with Tara, I saw one!
Chris Noth! At first I wasn't sure it was really him - Tara had just told me on Sunday that she had seen him recently, so I was afraid he was on my mind and the guy I saw was just a random older dark haired dude. I got a good look at him and immediately turned to Tara to say something intelligent like, "OMG wasithim didyouseethat?" Another girl ran up behind us, saw my mini freakout, and said, "It was totally him."
And if your google autofills "Chris Noth sweaty" from now on, you can know that I had something to do with that. Apologies. The best I could do was a beach picture - and he looks waaaaaay older than that in real life. And he was wearing a shirt.
If you're looking for more memes, this time about healthy living bloggers, head over to Angry Runner's page and look at the ones I'm proud to say I helped her come up with. And then, while you're at it, head over to Bridget's blog and tell her what you think about money-making races that turn themselves into parties, breeding undertrained people who are "experiencing" the event rather than "racing" it: yay or nay? (I hope I don't have to tell you what I think.) And then, while you're clicking, head over to Geek Girl's blog and give her some support - she's going through one of those messed up situations that really helps to put your life in perspective.

Note to self: start camping out in Central Park in November to spot Chris Noth... (Does he really look old in real life?)
ReplyDeletedear silly girl running--yes he does! i was THAT girl who sat around after that championship season to get an upclose hello and look from him.
ReplyDeletebut that will not stop me from pitching a tent next to you. I WANT TO SEE HIM (and/or any other celeb) while out running! so cool!
When I saw Alec Baldwin, I didn't think anything of it because I honestly thought he was a crazy man who looked a lot like AB. Later that weekend he tweeted a picture of himself, and I was like, "Uh... he looks like a crazy man. Wow." It makes me wonder how many times I've seen celebrities and not even realized it! I also saw Uma Thurman once, walking the bridle path in the morning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog mention. And AR blog has me cracking the hell up!!! I am thinking of printing a few out for my desk.
ReplyDeleteHow super fun! I saw C. Noth do a play reading once in grad school and I was amazed at how old looking he was in person. So fun to see celebrities like Mr Big and Mz Duffy on your runs :-) I need to go check out your Angry Runner memes - I did a couple too!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you didn't mention the most critical detail, which was that he was running the WRONG WAY around the reservoir! Look alive, Mr. Big! I'm just glad you spotted him, because I was so oblivious I never would have realized that happened.
ReplyDeleteIt's so true!! And there were only signs maybe every 10' pointing out that he was going the wrong way. I'm kind of surprised by that, actually, since you'd think that salmoning would attract more attention than just running the right way!
