When God Wants to motivate me, he sends me Adrian Grenier!

I woke up this morning to a beautiful and crisp fall day. Regardless of the environment's perfection, I resisted my morning workout. After an hour long debate with God, my skinny side, my sleepy side AND my inner fat kid, God told me he'd meet me half way and make it worth my while if I just got out of bed and went jogging. Whatevs, my sports bra is already half on.

I ran my usual path down to Fort Greene Park, here in my neighborhood. The entire park is only about a 1/2 mile 'round, yet after a winded loop and stair-run, I reached the top and not "kind of", but "completely" wanted to die. Moderate to consistent smoking habits and a change of season head-cold all working against me. However, all the sweat, wheezing and mismtached running socks in the world could not stop God from coming through on his promise (he's not a liar; it doesn't sit well with him).

A young man with a wild set of curls, who was also working out at the top of the stairs, approached and said "Good workout?". Why yes, ADRIAN GRENIER, I am having a good workout. Feeling like the wimpy guy trying to impress the girl, I had a second wind and ran off for my second (or third, as far as he knows) loop around the park. At the top of my second stair run, Mr. Man was still there (waiting, perhaps? Probably not). I nodded, he nodded and after a brief conversation with myself in my head (Oh God, I hope it was only in my head), I decided to leave the park before him, running off to enhance my mystere'. Delores Grenier - It has a nice ring to it.

P.S. when I told my bodega guy about my sighting, he said he'd never seen "Entourage" because the Bodega doesn't have HBO. Why? Cablevision doesn't issue businesses HBO/Showtime/Cinemax because of porn. We both agreed it would be weird if he was watching porn when I got my morning coffee.

P.P.S. After telling this amazing tale to local friends, it is apparently widely known that Adrian has purchased a home in Brooklyn and is getting a lot of publicity for his eco-friendly ways. Bravo, Greenier.
