I met Billy Mills, the gold medalist from the 60's, 10000 meter event at the 2004 Brookings MArathon. he was very humble and friendly and told me to swim more.

I went to school with olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis. Very nice, down to earth. I ran into him years later at the mall...still the same!

I've been in close proximity to a few at running expos, but I can't say I've ever spoken 1-on-1 with a famous runner. Pity, really.

I didn't really meet one but I'm pretty sure Flo Jo ran by me once when I was out on a walk in Central Park.

Who cares about famous runners?
Honestly!
Now, a famous football player-- that is more like it.
