Overdue...

for highlights of random interactions of the past month (next post I plan to share some interesting articles):

- Giving a cold can of Dr. Pepper to a person asking for change outside of my apartment.
- Helping a McDonald's worker struggling to move a heavy box of things up a stairwell from the subway.
- Greeted a New Yorker on the subway who told me about how he was given clothing and stuff from a friend that told him you should try to help out people that are less fortunate than you.

- Thanked as many volunteers as I could over the course of an 18 mile training run.
- Met a runner on the subway who was logged 40+ marathons in his life and was headed out to Ohio for another that weekend.
- Talked a runner who gets up at 3:30 AM to run cause she's doing hospital rotations and is training for a marathon.
- Tossed frisbee with a random person in the park and conversed.

Frisbees in the air!

- Introduced myself to couple of volunteers for a one mile race I completed, generally talking to strangers about running.
- Gave a frisbee to a cute little toddler girl in the park, she looked so happy and adorable :)


- Bumped into an old high school classmate/teammate at a bar.  Discussed the amazing treat of being in a city that people are perpetually curious of and want to know more about.
