A former HS XC runner's car broke down. He needed to get to work for his first day on the job. The distance to cover was 20 miles. He walk-jogged and scored some interesting adventures along the way: a loose dog late at night, a police officer who bought him breakfast, a second police officer who drove him the last few miles, $44,000 raised on his behalf by a person he help move as first job assignment, and a free car.
