Benefits of Being a Runner

Today on facebook, Coach Stowers was reminded of a runner she coached from Tri-Unity Christian High School, Justin Voorhees, class of 2004.  Justin who is in Rio de Janeiro during the Carnival, was almost mugged.  He commented on facebook that he was thankful for two things, “1) That I run really fast” and secondly that his attackers were only able to throw something at him and he was able to get away.  As a coach, it is always interesting to see where your runners go in life, but this was a story that really caught Coach Stowers attention.  Who would have thought that being a runner could come in so handy!?!  Hopefully this type of incident won’t be common, but it is good to know that if you need to run away, you can!  So what does the Bible say about running? Proverbs 18:10 “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
