Went down to 98th with Misty and ran with Danielle on the park trail for  7 miles. I then went to my car to open it and stretch. I put the keys on the seat and the door shut on me which was no biggie. Then the doors locked! How the heck is that possible! I opened the doors with the key fob and after 30 seconds they automatically lock again. So I was locked out and Danielle had gone. Misty was still on the trail running so I ran back on the trail and told Misty I was going to run to Danielles house to see if she would give me a ride home to get the spare key. I ended up running another 1.5 miles and her brother took me home and back and we got the door opened which made us both late for work of course! 

 Ran later this evening on the Park trail from 7th west North. I saw Steve Ashbaker out and about.

From Walter on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 23:56:05 from 76.27.13.75

JohnnyV, yes it always happens to me not just because its Monday. lol

Kelli, thanks for hosing us Saturday! I freakin loved that video of our team. Jose did a great job. As to our car, Im not sure how or what makes the doors lock after you open them. it does not make sense. Its German thinking. ??

Gee golly, nice mileage Wally!

From Kelli on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 10:21:25 from 71.219.76.64

I missed you deeply Walter, but i already had plans I could not break. Jose's daughter did an awesome job---we will have to take more video and pictures next year!

Crazy crazy. That is just bad luck. I worry about that happening to me all the time on runs down at the parkway. Or just getting a hole in my pocket and losing my key. Good thing you had some people that you could get to help you.

From Walter on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 18:32:16 from 76.27.15.208

Michelle, that is.... ok? great! Thanks Beaver! ohh that didnt sound good, you know the context i mean right? lol

Kelli, I agree that video was hilarious and well done. I wished Scott would have been able to throw up in it! It was sooo close!

Teena Marie, yeah. live and learn. Im always learning bad lessons for some reason. I must be a slow learner or something.

Mark, I know. I thought about just running home and leaving my wife sitting there by the car. Not a good idea. It worked out.
