Hello!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I want to talk
about some running safety tips. There are many important tips but here are two
important tips:
1.
I know I have already mentioned it, but make
sure you run with a buddy. There have been numerous accounts of people being
abducted while running alone. It doesn’t even matter if it is in the early
morning, middle of the day, or late at night, you should always run with a
buddy. I am very guilty at running alone, but I am working on it. If you insist
on running alone just make sure you run in broad daylight on open streets.
2.
I have a very hard time doing this, but don’t
run with headphones in. The danger of running with headphones is that you
aren’t aware of your surroundings. When running with music you are unaware of
the honking, the jibber-jabber, and the pain. If you aren’t aware of honking,
you could possibly cross the street and not be aware of a car coming towards
you. Also by not hearing people, you
could become startled when people are behind you. Most importantly you could
miss hearing your friends say hello as they drive past.
Safety may be annoying at times, but remember it can be
life-saving.
The bible verse that I chose this week is 2 Corinthians 4:9:
“We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we
are not destroyed.” It has been a very difficult few weeks for me. I have been
through failure, disappointment and sadness. Sadly at times I felt like I had
nothing left. But God is always there to pick us up no matter what situation we
encounter.
Have a blessed day,
Jamie
