Lost keys in the woods - 2 days before the marathon

Firstly have to say today that my running club was last night announced by Runners World as the UK Best Running Club, so I now run for the Club of the Year!

Anyway other important matters, my 2nd funny story (this is my best so do not expect tomorrows to be better). Well here goes;

- One Thursday morning me and Andy went for a run in the dark
- I was doing a race on the Sunday, so I decided to drive to where I was meeting him to save me running the 3 extra miles
- I left my house key in the car (to save carrying it or losing it) and carried the car key in my hand
- For a change (!) I got "caught short" running and I had to go in some trees for a few moments
- When I came out, luckilyl still dark so nobody saw me, I realised I did not have my car key on me
- So I went back in looking for it, trying to mind where I was standing!
- A few minutes later Andy came back, as he did not want to watch me and we decided I would not be able to find it as it was still dark!
- So we ran off, then I realised I did not have access to a house key
- So then I had to run the extra miles home, then try to wake Vicki up, who turned out to be in the shower.....so I spent 5 minutes at the front door trying to get her to hear me
- She then had to drive me to the car (not happy!) and then as it was now light, I went back to find the other key!
- I walked in to the woods and realised that there was a bus stop opposite the woods (was there anybody there when I visited there 1 hour before I do not know?)
- So I walk in, 5 seconds later bend down, then walk out......they really must have wondered what I was doing!

It still makes me laugh today and Andy does still run with me, however embarrassed he is with me!
