I was working out in a mid priced hotel gym at 5 a.m. I was alone working on the workout machine. I heard someone coming in. I assumed it was a cleaning person. Yet, I didn't see anyone. I continued my workout. I gathered my things and when I felt someone grab me. He said to me give your bag. Many years ago, I took a self defense class. I elbowed him in the throat and flipped him on his back. I didn't scream or speak. I simply went into action. The desk manager came running because the guy who was screaming. The ironic thing is I am 5 8 and he was 6 4. He outweighed me by over a hundred pounds. The manager subdued him until the police came. The scary thing the man had a knife. The only question I had was how did he get in?
The police officer was surprised that I was able to keep my self safe. I went to get my family their breakfast. My husband was furious after I returned to the room. The manager walked me to the room.
I wish the day was better. Someone stole my son's iphone from our room.
