Locked out!

Week Three - Day Two
5 minute walk
(90 second run, 90 second walk + 3 minute run, 3 minute walk) X 2
2 minute walk

I usually have a debate in my head right before I get out of the truck to run about what to do with my stuff. I usually have a phone, keys, license, an ipod shuffle and a water bottle. Lately I've put the water bottle in the shade in the back of the truck so that it stays a bit cooler. I don't mind leaving my phone and license somewhere in the cab but the truck is one of those trucks that don't have keyless entry so I usually take my keys with me. On this particular day I was wearing pants that didn't have pockets. I usually just tie my keys in with my shoe lace on pocketless days but today I didn't have laces in my shoes. I was at the track and decided that because no one else was at there and it was raining again so there probably wouldn't be anyone else coming, that I would leave the keys in a hidden spot inside the truck and just be aware as I ran. I hid it safely and got out to run. I was getting my podcast set up and realized I had probably locked the door in my usual manner. You know, when I don't purposefully leave my keys in there. I didn't even step onto the track and I went back to the truck to see. Sure enough: locked. With my phone also in there, I started my podcast and headed for home. When I got there, I had to ring the doorbell because I didn't have keys to get in. It was nap time for the kids and I hate when people ring the doorbell during that time. There I was, on the other side of the door... My husband quickly tried to find another set of keys and I headed back to the truck. The interesting thing is that I got back to the truck as the workout finished. What a tidy little workout! I unlocked the door, climbed in the truck and went home.
