I was like whatever happens to me right now, you do what you’re going to do but you gotta let me get home. What’s insanely crazy is that what’s going through my head was something that had happened to somebody else and I had helped to look for that person and put out flyers and all I kept thinking at that time was, 'Don’t let her family find her like that.'Īnd that’s exactly what I was praying to God in my head. I’m like, this is what’s going to happen right now. And then the whole sexual thing clicked in my head. I didn't have anything on me besides a telephone. I asked several times, what do you want? I don’t have money. He had a knife, he held it to my throat, went left to right.

He looked like a, I don’t know, like a sick man. In this event of 25 minutes, there were threats. The thought of a sexual assault did not even cross my mind because I saw my own mortality very fast. I said to myself, 'Oh my God, I’m going to die.' I know that sounds crazy but he didn’t look like someone that I would walk the other way from. But this man wasn’t running.Īnd he also didn’t look like a bad person. Usually, when you’re running and runners pass you by, you say hello. He gave a nod and I kind of just gave a nod back. I had been at the top of a very large hill there where I saw this man. I was running very fast miles, like six and a half minute miles. It was my last run before the marathon my legs were going to get a break.

I always listen to music and I only got to the traffic light in Marlboro and said, 'Oh my God, I forgot my earbuds.'Īnd if I wasn’t going roller skating with my kids later, if I didn’t want to disappoint my kids, I would have just gone home and gotten them. I was a teacher and my district had off that week so I was training in that park that week.Īnd the crazy part is, I forgot my earbuds. We took our usual selfie before we left in the garage.
