A local jogging path, eight miles away, in a secluded area, without her cell phone?

Eight miles isn't that far and I never took my cell phone jogging.

With her bags packed to go home, she suddenly got the irresistible urge to jog on a path she'd never been to before (had to look up the location on Map Quest). ,

If you are working out regularly, you do get an irresistible urge to continue. Taking a jog after getting the packing done sounds reasonable.

If that's the case, maybe she was suicidal.

Apparently people jog at this park quite regularly.

It's not eight miles from Chandra's apartment to the site in Rock Creek Park. My estimate last night of three miles was confirmed in a column in today's Washington Post.

As I wrote earlier, an urge so strong that you will go out jogging without leaving a change of clothes and a towel for a shower after? She was going to head out to the airport in her dirty, sweaty clothes, remain in them for the entirety of a cross-country plane trip?

No woman I know would ever consider this scenario.
