A concerned neighbor stopped a woman during her morning jog.
On social media, Anna Grace Boswell, the jogger in question, has gained attention on TikTok for her encounter with her neighbor, Stanley.
The video has over 11 million views on her account (@artsyfartsyag).
Anna, who describes herself as “relatively new to the running game,” is training for a half marathon later this year.
The video has the caption: “CACKLIN, Protect my neighbor at all costs. He had no idea what I was running from but he was READY to help!”
The video begins with footage from her home, showing Anna starting her morning run.
As she jogs past Stanley’s house, he shouts, “Are you okay? Everything okay?”
Anna responds cheerfully, “Yeah! Just going on a run.”
Community spirit shines through
Viewers found humor in the situation, noting that Anna appeared to be “running from danger instead of for fun.”
She shared more about her running journey. She explained: “Three weeks ago, I decided to run a half marathon. I’ve been training five days a week since then.”
“I’m in the honeymoon phase of running. I really, really love it. As a mom to two toddlers, running is a great way to reset after a long day.”
Anna praised Stanley, calling him an “awesome human being.”
He previously rented a house across the street but continues to be a part of the neighborhood.
“I was shocked when he asked if I was okay. I thought I looked cool in my running vest and hot pink shorts.”
Additionally, Anna emphasized Stanley’s genuine concern.
She humorously noted how he “humbled” her with his question but recognized his pure intentions. After the video gained traction, she worried about sharing it with him.
“Stanley is a DJ and had a busy weekend after I posted the video. I was nervous someone would tell him he went viral before I could show him.”
When she finally shared the video, Stanley enjoyed the moment as well.
The video quickly went viral and sparked debate on social media.
Commenters on TikTok expressed appreciation for Stanley’s caring nature.
One person said: this reminds me of the New Girl episode where Nick goes for a run.
A second wrote: e said “her?? Exercising??? No she must be in danger”, he’s so sweet tho.
While a third commented: I had a COP pull over one time and ask me if I was okay and my answer was “yeah I’m just attempting to exercise”.
Another added: He immediately knew the assignment but also was confused by the assignment.
Someone else said: He’s like this is new ain’t never seen her run.
This heartwarming interaction showcases the beauty of community spirit.
Anna’s story emphasizes the importance of looking out for one another, even during simple activities like jogging.
The genuine concern from neighbors like Stanley reminds us that kindness thrives in everyday moments.
