Hmmm. I've had to go through a windown to get in my house when I lost my keys, but never to get out.

I've had to break into my house a few times too. Once I got drunk and climbe up a drain pipe and into my bedroom window, but I fell out and landed on the steel gate below, breaking a rib. I climbe back up and through the window, got my keys and went out of my house to carry on partying.
However, I found it painful to laugh, so I went to the Hospital which was a very short distance away. An x ray revealed my injury, but they just sent me home, there was nothing they could do to treat my broken rib.

ouch. I recently recovered from one of those. a real b*tch those are. laughing almost brings you to tears it hurts so bad. had to stop running for about a month too, although i cheated a couple of times and paid the price dearly by prolonging my injury.
oh, i train right outside my house as well. excellent road-running as well as a lake and 66 mile long canal/tow-path w/ trails. BOOYA
the lake sounds nice, i don't know about a canal...that could get boring, i find running along rivers not to be all that interesting, things don't vary enoughmountain forests intermingled with streams and lakes are the bestafter that maybe rolling dirt roads with some trees, etc. or big parksthen lakesthen riversthen road running around a town without being interuppted by too many traffic lightsrunning on roads where all there are fielsrunning in a traffic area (multiple lanes) with not many sidewalks (some suburbs are like this - i'm sure we've all dealt with it)

It's eco-friendly to start running from your house rather than driving.

Back when my wife and I got married, we bought a new house. Since it was August, I used to run my 20-milers starting at 10 p.m., and my wife would ride her bike with me.
We finished up one 20-miler about 12:30 in the morning when we realized that we had locked ourselves out. Since it was a new house, we couldn't fathom breaking a window. A neighbor was out walking his dog, so we used his phone to call my parents as they had a spare key.
My mom said that my dad cussed a blue streak the entire 45-minute drive down to our house. :-)
Rarely if ever do I run in my neighborhood. I drive to most every running route, mostly because I train on the city greenways. My neighborhood would require endless loops and leaving it has me running on some dangerous roads.
