    Ex-S.F. firefighter's workers' comp problem - By Phillip Matier, Andrew Ross, San Francisco Chronicle
    City Hall sources say the San Francisco's Human Resources Department eventually got involved in the case, and started shooting some telling video footage of her on the sly. It seems her shoulder and thumb weren't bothering her so much that she couldn't compete in some of the toughest athletic competitions around, city officials concluded.

    Indeed, if Hijjawi were trying to hide her fitness quest, she wasn't doing a very good job. Our own Google search turned up records showing her running in marathons in Lake Tahoe, Los Angeles, Honolulu and elsewhere.
