Most runners run just to run. It isn't the norm to run to a destination unless you can shower there. After all, who wants to be a sweaty mess when they have somewhere to be? I've found that it is useful to be able to run all out for ten minutes!
This happend last week. We park our car in a garage about 6 blocks from home. Monday night, the garage attendant accidentally took our car keys home. Unaware, we arrived at the garage at 10:40 Tuesday morning planning to get the car for an 11:00 appointment. The garage attendant on duty couldn't find the key. After a few minutes of searching, he called the Monday night attendant who admitted to taking it home. He said he'd bring it back in 15 minutes. This would have had him arriving with the key at 11:05. At 11:00 when he still wasn't there, I took off as fast as I could without my running shoes to pick up the spare key from home. I got back to the garage about 7 minutes later. The key "thief" still hadn't returned the key. With the spare in hand, we were only 25 minutes late to the appointment. I only regret not returning home a bit earlier.
Walking over to the garage usually takes us about 15 minutes. Despite being a sweaty mess, I was happy that running allowed me to take quick action!
That seems really suspect...I'd have the keys changed..what if he copied them? All the reports point to "planned" car thefts where the thief somehow manages to make their own key! Good luck - stay safe!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you reported the 'thief' to his superiors
