So, my father's car broke.

I got pissed off after a tennis match once so I decided to run home instead of drive home to blow off some steam. Little did I know I was like 20 miles from my house and it was almost 100 degrees outside. I swear I almost died when I got home after running for what seemed like forever.

You father is probably going to be (was) late as most people can only walk somewhere between 2 1/2 - 5 miles per hour. Even with a quick jog he would only be able to cover a little under 8 miles. It would take him running at a pace of ~6:00 min/mile to get to work in under an hour, something that would be extremely difficult for an average person for such a distance. Then he would probably be all sweaty and smelly so they would tell him to go home.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
