He wasn't in his running gear though so suppose it don't count.
I have a much worse temperament than House though.
Not a celebrity - a Deity.
Nell McAndrew (well I ran behind her..) at FLM 2004
Seen lots of celebs in various restaurants in London in my time and on the way home from Tenerife in Feb got the plane with the entire Bolton Wanderers squad. (Flying Monarch to Gatwick, times must be hard....)
paula ran past me when i was cheering on macmillan runners at last year's hydroactive in hyde park. she still came in top 30 despite being nearly 6 months pregnant. at 6 months pregnant i was sitting on the sofa eating doughnuts.
Passed Tanni Grey Thomson getting out of her car near the start in 2001.
Jimmy Saville was cheering runners home in 2003.
I was overtaken by Jamie Andrew, the climber who lost both hands and both feet to frostbite after being stuck up a mountain.
I overtook Scooby Doo at 9 miles last year.
Imagine my disapointment as I rounded the top of the Mall in a world of pain to hear the announcer make a joke about the first Batman just crossing the line.
Jimmy Saville in Roundhay Park in Leeds. He's often at races round there as well cheering on the runners.
Nell McAndrew at Pudsey tenk. Nice girl.
And Veronique Marot, former marthon(or half, or both, cant remember)world record holder, recently gave me advice about my dodgy knee.
Tony Audenshaw, Bob Hope from Emmerdale, at a couple of races and talked to him at the GNR show thing last year.
Apparently he posts on here.........
Jimmy Saville at the Great Scottish Run
Michelle McManus and Yvonne Murray at Glasgow Sport Relief Mile
The girl from Corrie who used to work at the dog kennels and now works in Dev's shop ! - Great Trail Run Loch Lomond
I haven't met anyone famous when out on a normal training run though I did meet Robbie Coltraine in Heathrow once
Tim Vine, in Richmond Park I've also seen Andrew Marr both running and on a bike (though not at the same time, that would be silly) the DI bloke from Life on Mars who was in Calendar Girls. At various Great Souths Frank Brunno (can say I beat him in the 5th) and most of the cast of Emmerdale a few years ago were staying at the same hotel as us as was Bredan Foster.
Still thats enough name dropping for now.
