My entire body is ache and stiff and my mind was cloudy all day . I get to " The Gym " and start walking on the track . I complete 3 laps when I bump into Speed Racer . SR forgot their shoes and I thank the stars ( Hassellhoff ) because emotionally I do n't think I can do another 7 laps .

Answer: They got a running partner .It forced them to stop running .None of the above choices .It helped them run faster .
