What a Run can do?

I feel like I was meant to go for a run today....I guess I was.

Today I wanted to go for a 40 minute run through the neighborhood. It's Wednesday and I didn't get called in for a job (for those of you who don't know I work on Tuesdays and Thursdays and do temp work or volunteer on the other day), so I decided to go for a 40 minute run through the neighborhood. Scout (my 7 year old Chocolate Lab) gave me the puppy eyes and "asked" if he could come along. Sure I thought, it's cool enough out I think Scout can handle this run. Off we go through my "normal" route around the hood, knowing that I would add on a little at the end (normal run is a 30 min run). We'll just say my neighborhood isn't flat, and I have the elevation levels from my new running app to prove it. There is one section through the neighborhood that I have to pull Scout through....and I do until I he calms down, it's funny because it's the Estate Section. After we got through 30 minutes of the run Scout had slowed down a lot and his tongue was hanging out, ohh and those eyes were saying: "Please stop Mommy....PLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE!". So I decided to give up my 40 minute run and be happy with just 30 mintues. We ended up near some of the green spaces in the neighborhood. So I let Scout roam around (still on his leash) the green area. I kept hearing this weird sound....at first I thought it was someone "yelling" for help, so I looked down the street where the sound was coming from, but I didn't see anything. Then it sounded like a strange cat "meow". It was a sporadic "MEOW" "MEOW" "MEOW". I couldn't see a cat, dog, person...anything so I figured that the animal was in someone's backyard. Scout and I started to walk home when another lady with her dog came walking up the street so we split the road. Once we both (the other lady and myself) got to the cross street the "Meowing" came in earnest. We looked down that street and saw a little old lady who had fallen and couldn't get up. She was obscured to me when I was hearing her at first because she had a for sale sign in her front yard. I tied Scout up to a tree and the other lady took her dog back home (she lived around the corner) and we ended up fireman carrying her into her house and she called her son to come take care of her. After getting her a bottle of water from the fridge, the phone and some paper and pen we (the other dog lady and I) ended up leaving her with her next door neighbor. So I guess it was a good thing that Scout only wanted to do a 30 minute run today. I think he saved her day.
