My extended cool down

written by Corey L. Stokes

The worst thing that you could have happen during a run happened. I completed a six-mile run. When it was over, I took my end of run, “Yatta” photo. And continued to my cool down. When it was all done, I started back to my car. I looked for my key, and it was gone!  
I dropped it somewhere along my six-mile run and I had no idea where. I started retracing my steps frantically searching the ground where I ran. Nothing!

“This is pointless!” I thought to myself. If it fell in the grass I would never find it. 1/2 mile into the search I called my wife to let her know I would need a ride home. By the time she arrived I was 2 miles into the search and still nothing.

She drove me home all the while trying to convince me to just let it go and to buy a new key. I agreed only after she agreed to bring me back one more time to try our spare key. As we drove down the street, something caught my eye near my end point for my run! It was my key! We found it. Laying in the street. My extended cool down had a happy ending!  and all it cost me was a few extra steps.

  1. LOL…I laugh only because that happened to me…On my way to my 3 mile walk happy as a lark. On the way back I decided to check the mail only to realize I’d picked up my sister’s keys and not the house keys. Not only could I not check the mail but I couldn’t get in the house either. My husband was at work and the Office would be closing in 30 min. So I had to walk to the office to get the spare key, walk back to get my house key then back to the office to return the spare key then back home. That day I walked over 20,000 steps and never checked the mail.

  2. So, you feel my pain! I’m glad I was able to find my keys. As far as fitness though, It looked good on my FitBit
