My destination was probably closer than that; just a few blocks.
There was a fellow walking down the sidewalk across the street from me that morning. After the lightning I looked over to see him sprawled out face-first on the grass. I was about to go over to him to see if he was okay when he got up and continued on his way. We are two very lucky people. Ever since then, when I'm on that street, I look around at the surroundings to see if I can figure out where that bolt came down. There's no sign of it anywhere.
Edit: His reflexes were much better than mine. I mean, he must have hit the dirt right off. I was too stunned to do anything but stand there and think "Holy ----!".
