Parked at Vanessa's school in the afternoon heat for a few slow miles. Clearly I wasn't awake all the way, because I hopped out of the car, locked it, and got about 20 feet down the road before it dawned on me that I had just locked myself out of the car with no phone. Crap. Nearest spare key was Mom's house where I could get in through the garage. Terrified that I would not make it back in time before my Beautiful got out of school and stood around wondering where her mommy was, a sub-20 5k ensued, interrupted by a quick dash into the house to procure the key. As it turns out, I was back in plenty of time and jogged a few very slow miles by the school to cool down. Odd way to start a taper.
