George Costanza did this.. SO come up with a god alias like Art Vandalay

Why are you using a thread famous for trolls for relationship advice or dating advice or anything of the sort.
The key to not being creepy is to make sure contact is not premeditated. If you can "accidentally" bump into him while not looking, or "pretend" to be lost and ask for directions, it creates a good introduction. And, if he is short with you when you do either of these things, you will know he is not the "smart and nice" guy you have built up in your head and you can just go along your merry way. DO NOT walk up and say anything to the effect that you have seen him around and noticed him. Guys who are impressed by that are insecure losers.
Reverse engineer this brilliance. Or something like that
Is he a runner on a college team or just a regular guy exercising? In other words, scrawny guy in short shorts or not?
Assuming you've been examining his Facebook, I wouldn't let him know that you've done that. For example, don't ask him how his trip to Universal Studios in 2011 was.
You sound like you're over thinking it a lot by the way you're already trying to come up with conversation topics. What if he doesn't always wear a gamin or running shoes? The best way might just be "Hey, I saw you running the other day, are you on the team here?" Either way you sound like the nervous type, so try not to pass out, turn red, or stutter when speaking with him. First impression could make it or break it.
Life is too short to mull over how to set up a 'chance' meeting. Even if you see him again in this artificial manner, you might find executing the act a bit awkward - or perhaps you have the talent for it: what are you majoring in?
In any case, your best bet is to keep it simple. A hello over fb will do, and if there's any question of why you're messaging him, you might just matter-or-factly reply that you thought he looked familiar on random fb browsing or the 'people you may know' feature. The added bonus here is it's not dishonest.

If this is indeed the case and if it ever comes out, you are done for. A man will require that any woman he dates be:
Younger
Dumber
Poorer
Shorter and .....
SLOWER than him.
Move along. Find a guy who can RUN
One time a girl was straight up with me and said, "I creeped you on Facebook" so that's how I recognized you she said. I liked the fact that she was so straight up with me and I told her that comment struck me in a good way. I get creeped out when people do or say stuff behind my back and then just keep quiet in front of me like nothing happened. That's what's true creepiness. People who aren't afraid to tell the awkward truth are usually intriguing, smart, funny individuals. Real people also spend less or no time on Facebook and more time dealing with reality.

No, they were visiting their friend Art Vandelay who is an importer/exporter. George was an architect who designs railroads.
Either way, the OP could actually use this trick and wait outside the building. When she sees the guy, introduce herself, and if he asks what she is doing there she can just say she is waiting to meet a friend that works in the building.

You do know LRC is similar to Facebook, right?
Next time you see him, when he is not running, approach him and say "Hey, I think I have seen you running by here a couple of times, was that maybe you.""
Him: "Umm yeah, could be I guess"
You: "I run too and am looking for some new routes/trails. Any suggestions?"
That should at least get the conversation going and you should be able to move it along from there.

Good idea. Something along those lines.
If he is fast enough to be in some college or road race video or newspaper article, you can tell him you recognized him from the picture. You can take it even one step further and ask for an autograph. This worked for Anne Ryun, Jim Ryun's wife. They have been married 47 years and have 4 children and 7 grandchildren.
The next time you see him running, just flag him down and say "Hi I've seen you running I thought you looked cute. Would you like to get some coffee?" That simple.

Thanks. I am cute, but I don't like coffee.
No point talking to him unless you enjoy being disillusioned and disappointed. When it comes to guys, it's much better living in your thoughts and dreams. Reality will just turn you into a cynical bitch.

The naivete on this board never ceases to amaze me
Just don't disappoint us and tell us you're a guy to after 5 pages.
Okay, im bored so i'll give you my shit advice
First of all, I have to agree with all the posters saying something like that girls can't be creepy. I mean they can it depends, older ladies can definitively be creepy, but in general being a girl makes any behaviour way less creepy.
As for my advice, go about your life as usual just relax and don't obbses about him, that way you're not just percieved as not creepy, you aren't creepy. If you see him again then in my oppinion you can be pretty blunt, (but pretend you don't know anything about him that you got from internet) just say something like. Hey! I saw you running the other day, wanna go for a jog together sometime? Or if you see him running, say something like. Hey i see you running often, I'm on my way home right now, but do you think i could take your number and maybe we could have a run together sometime?
The reason I would advice to set up for a run an other time is because if you just ask if he wanna run together right there and then he basicly has no option to say no(assuming he's somewhat normal) wich probably would scare him a bit + for a date (i mean this isn't exactly a date but like a light version of it) you should have some time to prepare, and some time to be like a little nervous before and shit. But im not saying like that definitively nothing good can come out of you just joining his run right there and then, I have done something similar a coupple of times, slowing down my pace for a recovery run to run with some stranger i've seen often, but if you do that, just be chill and don't treat it like a semi-date, if all goes well on that run you can ask if he wants to run again sometime and that will be your first semi-date.
Okay that's my shitty advice, either way how you do it, good luck!!!

I saw a really strange girl looking at me the other day on my run. Am I the guy?
If so, I just want to first let you know that I have an STI.
