Subject: Celeb sighting while out training
I was riding my MTB bike in a canyon near Mailbu (Pt. Mugu/Sycamore Cyn) and crossed paths with a trail runner with green hair. I did a double-take and realized that it was Flea, bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

LOL! - Yeah, he was wearing shorts, shirt and shoes! I probably would have recognized him faster if he hadn't!

Your subject line would have been better if it said "Flea sighting while out training"

Sorry

I saw Jamie Waters (?) at a race and at a swim clinic. He played Ray Pruitt on 90210 back in the day! At the Long Beach tri I saw Kent Shocknek, from CBS (?) news as a spectator at the swim start!

Ran with Nick Ashford (Ashford and Simpson) in central park in NYC. Just briefly, but it was pretty cool.

If you keep training around Malibu/Santa Monica/Beach Cities, you will see a LOT of celebs.

Heck, Harry Perry is a celeb

FWIW good job on the sighting ... I rarely recognize anyone, it's usually my training partners giving me a sharp elbow in the ribs and saying Didja see, Didja see ...

Chicago
Subject: RE: Celeb sighting while out training
I saw Leslie Nielsen while training yesterday. He was running with River Phoenix.

Actually when I lived in Chicago I literally ran into (actually he ran into me) Dennis Quaid while going to the gym. His (hot) wife or whatever she was asked me where Equinox was, which was where I was going. Told them to follow me and they did. Then they were in the class I was doing. My instructor told me who it was later. Oops. He had a hat on, pulled way down, and is much shorter in person than I thought he'd be.

I am exactly the same way. I'm usually clueless... It's usually my wife that recognizes them.

I don't even recognize half these names, let alone the faces. I know Flea and Dennis Quaid.

Oh, and the two dead guys; Tony, you gotta find new running routes

I thought there was a 3 month cooling off period before we could joke about dead people!

Slight spinoff, but I used to work for Nike.  You never knew who would be next to you at the headquarters gym.  Pretty intimidating to be working out next to Charles Barkley or John McEnroe.

John McEnroe, ARE YOU SERIOUS?! You're intimidated by JOHN MCENROE? Barkley I could see, but McEnroe is a OLD TENNIS PLAYER. HTFU.

McEnroe has been known to frequent these workouts!

Played 3-on-3 basketball against Adam Sandler, David Duchovny, and Woody Harrelson at the gym at Pepperdine. Their team was skins but Adam wouldn't take his shirt off. Guess he was between action movies... Have run into Laird Hamilton biking a couple times and seen him out surfing a ton. He is the most amazing water person to ever live. Pretty badass biker too as he has a couple 10lb weights on his mountainbike to get more exercise up the hills I guess. Work out next to John McEnroe and Tony Danza regularly. Yeah, I'm pretty cool.

"John McEnroe could kick Chuck Norris' a$$."

Now that comment is just plain sacrilege, it’s commonly known that Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris. Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas. Chuck Norris will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't nearly foolish enough to attack him. Chuck Norris would destroy John McEnroe!

I could go on, but thankfully, I won’t.
