Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching (伸展) on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, _16_ a few runners who were left behind. The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30 - minute jog and a(n) _17_. That's right—during some runs, one of them delivers a talk: topics _18_ from the brain to Bitcoin (比特币).
But one day last January, it would not be their _19_ run. The first evidence that something was off was the man who _20_ them very quickly. Cassidy _21_ why the man was so fast when another man ran by, yelling, "Help! He _22_ my phone and laptop!"
At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, _23_ the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he _24_ into a construction site. The runners _25_. Cassidy ran _26_ to the far side of the site to cut the thief off _27_ the others wandered the neighborhood _28_ he had thrown the phone and laptop in a backyard.
No luck. So they decided to ask people in the _29_ whether they'd seen the guy. When they knocked on the door of one row house, they were in for a _30_. They didn't know the suspect was _31_ behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the _32_ rushed out from behind the bush... and right into the _33_ of the police, who had joined the run shortly behind the runners.
The members of this running group are not hard - core sportsmen. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise. "Running is _34_ a useless sport where you just turn fat cells into heat," Cassidy told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "But sometimes it can be useful, and here was one of those _35_."
