I complete 4 miles today and lost my car key...

So today was my first day of my Couch to 5K program, a downloaded a podcast that is put to music with cues as to when to run or when to walk. I was excited because I am getting pumped for my 5K in September! I got up around 8 and made it to the park before 8:30, put my key in my shoe and set off!

I was so focused on my program and was so happy when I finished it! I pushed through it, and when I looked down at my pedometer I saw I had reached 2 miles. Not bad and I still could breathe and walk! So I lean down to get my key, it's not there! I take my shoe off and shake it, but still no luck. At this point I am still calm and figure I'll walk my route again, and along the way ask anybody if they have seen a key.

One lady does find me saying another girl is walking around with the key asking if anybody lost it. Okay this makes me feel better, someone found it and is looking for me. So I finish my lap and have now completed 3 miles! I talked with some more walkers/joggers who are on the look out for the lady with my key. I stand my my jeep for about 15 mins to see if maybe they are driving around looking for me. STILL NO LUCK. I called my uncle who works for the park and ask if anyone has turned in my key at the main office. NOPE. I find a grounds keeper worker and ask him if any one has turned in a key. NOPE. They both tell me to check the bulletin board and water fountain my the bathroom as most people leave keys there. NOPE. At this point I am coming back around to my jeep and have now completed 4 miles.

I finally give in, call my grandmother (in tears at this point) and ask her to come pick me up so that I can go home and pick up my spare key. She does, and finally I am able to drive away in my own car.

The bad news is that I still don't know who has my orginial key, but the good news is I walked 4 miles today and complete the first day of my C25K program!
