They saw me running barefoot and carrying my shirt in my hand and chased me down the street. Am so glad I noticed them so I wasn't crash tackled because they were big boys. They said I looked suspicious because I had no shoes on. I was released within 5 minutes when they realised I was not involved in the incident.



It's funny but so random. Anyone else been detained while out running?

Well at least you will have

Well at least you will have generated a lot of buzz for barefoot running down at the station house and later on at the bar since you were likely the most interesting topic for them to talk about that day.

Big guys? Probably ex-aus rules footballers. I wouldn't want to be tackled by one of those either.
