In Flight Teams Up With KSBJ Radio
Challenges Listeners To Train For The Houston Marathon & Half Marathon

In Flight Running is thrilled to announce our new partnership with Christian Radio KSBJ 89.3 FM Houston. Coach Michael & Duval spent an hour on the air last night with on air afternoon personality Liz Jordan discussing running and marathon training. We congratulate Liz for finishing the Austin Half Marathon this past weekend (pic below with newly crowned marathoner, brother David) and have noticed that she has officially caught the "running bug". For those of you who are avid runners and road racers you know that undeniable feeling. She has the look in her eyes that says "what's next?", a marathon perhaps? Liz is on a mission to complete her first marathon and will be training with In Flight to help get her to the promised land, strolling across the finish line of the 2009 Houston Marathon next January 18th. But she doesn't want to go at it alone and is challenging KSBJ listeners and Houstonians to take the plunge and join her by training for the Houston Half Marathon or Marathon. Whether you are a first time half or full marathoner or a seasoned racing veteran, all are welcome to join us and share your training experiences. She has created a KSBJ Houston Marathon Team and and Blog to get things rolling. Coach Michael & Duval will be contributing to the Blog with training tips and joining Liz on air from time to time to give listeners added tips on running, fitness, nutrition and motivation. We hope you sign up with us for great training and run coaching from In Flight to prepare you for the race. If you don't choose us we highly recommend hooking up with another running club or coaching program in Houston. One thing for sure, long distance running is a definitely a team sport. With a big goal like a half marathon or marathon you need good coaching, accountablility, comaraderie and like the Beatles once sang "a little help from your friends". That will make more sense to those of you who join us and amaze yourself down the road when you cross the finish line on 01.18.09. Liz laid down the on air challenge yesterday. The question for you is...are you in?
