Our run in the rain... and a savage lost dog that Jordan thought was a wild boar.

Well, yesterday it was raining a lot. It is today, as well, actually. After tea me, Beka, Jords and Dan went for a run as we do. In the rain! It was epic. Whenever there was a big puddle, we'd all run up in sync, then jump in and make a big splash. And get wet. So we took a shortcut and went up the railway bridge. We ran up, then down then up. It was pretty tiring. At the top, we saw this scary wild boar on the train tracks. Actually it was a brown dog snooping around, but all the same, it was alive. Not that that really makes sense, but....
So we headed up past the High school. The rain had kind of turned into small drops, but it picked up, so we decided to head home. Back down from the railroad bridge, a red car slowed down at the sight of us. We thought it was some random stalking us, but turns out it was a woman. She round down her window, and yells out to us,
"On your travels, by any chance, have you seen a brown dog wandering around?"
So we say,
"Yeah, we saw a brown dog on the railroad tracks."
And she replied,
"....."..er.. was it alive?
And we're like,
"Yeah... it was alive. "
So she roars off, parks her car, comes out in a raincoat, and starts running up the steps of the railroad bridge. We cracked up and sort of lost it laughing, (quietly).
So then it REALLY started pelting down. We ran in the rain, which was fun. And then we basically got home.
