Almost late for my flight

I went to Phili for SAP training couple weeks ago. After the class is over on the lastday, I decided to tour downtown Philadephia. I wanted to visit early in that week but the class run till 5pm each day, no time left for any site-seeing. The last day of class ended a little early, so it gave me about 2 hours to tour downtown. I saw Independence Hall, Libery Bell, Benjamin Franklin Museum.

The bad thing is I took the wrong road on my way back to Airport. When I finally arrived the airport, its only 20min prior to my flight. I couldn't check in at the main terminal because passengers need to arrive at least 30min before their flight in order to get a boarding pass at the main terminal. They told me I still have a chance if i can reach the express terminal where the plane on time w/o go thru main concore. The problem is I have to walked there from outside, since w/o a boarding pass, I can not pass the security check point located in the main terminal. Only way is to get to the express terminal directly from outside and there is no check-in time limitation there as long as the plane hasn't leave.

I was on high heels, and carrying a heavy bag, and it's very cold,never expected these!!! I run about half of a mile on my heels and reached the terminal 1 min before the plane was ready to take off. I was exauhsted, but very happy that I could make to the flight, otherwise i have to take another flight next day. My poor italian made shoes, i would never want to hurt my shoes by running in them, but it's a special circumstance, and they are very sturdy, so grateful the heels didn't break!

After all, I am amazed by my potential, i havn't jog for million years, well, i almost lost my breath by the time i got there, but still I am suprised i made it w/o took my heels off, and my heavy luggage is still with me. Once I get in the terminal, there another long walk or run to the gate. I was runing like a wind, ppl saw me probably thing i was crazy, but i didn't care, all I was thinking at that point is to reach the gate, even if the plane might left already, but i still have to give it a try. Well, I made it... i had a sweet nap on my flight back from Phili to Columbus. :-)
