On meeting an (running) Icon...

When I first moved here I used to always see this man running on Hill Rd, that I swore was Bill Rodgers. Really friendly guy always waved said "good morning", "have a great run," etc.. Everyone said I was crazy... I thought, probably so. Why would a world class runner acknowledge me? Well tonight Bill laid this idea to rest. He says "yeah, yeah, yeah, I run Hill Road and Middle Rd all the time!" Mystery solved. And he invited me to run in his race on Sunday.

And if you ever met him you would say of course he said hello. He is the friendliest, most talkative man ever!! So nice!! He gave everyone individual attention. Such amazing treat meeting him. Life is complete!!!
