KSBJ’s Houston Marathon Team 2010

Registration for the Houston Half and Full Marathon sold out in record time this year!!!  Hope you were able to get in!  If not, you can still get in by running for a charity but don’t delay - chevronhoustonmarathon.com has more details.  FYI - the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio Marathon & 1/2 Marathon is Sunday, November 15th (I’m doing the half!!!), Austin Marathon & Half Marathon is Sunday, February 14th (Happy Valentine’s Day!) & the Rock ‘n’ Roll Dallas 1/2 Marathon is Sunday, March 14th, so those might be other options for ya!

Just found this cool article on “Losing Weight the Right Way During Marathon Training.”  Enjoy!!!

This Saturday between 10a-2p head over to the CityCentre Life Time Athletic Club for the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Institute’s FREE 2010 Pre-race Showcase!  You’ll learn more about the marathon, hear from a variety of speakers on a wide range of topics, and get plugged into the local running scene.  Fun, fun!

For the last couple years, the half and whole marathon in Houston have sold out in the blink of an eye! If you’re planning on running for the 2010 marathon, we encourage you to register ASAP.

Race registration for the 2010 Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco Houston Half Marathon, EP5K and ABB Team Challenge opens on the morning of Friday, July 17, 2009 at 12:01 a.m. (CST).

And if you haven’t registered with a training group yet, In Flight Running is our recommended training team. It’s not too late to sign up!

Stay posted for details on how to register to be part of the KSBJ Marathon team, where you’ll receive encouragement, prayer and lots more!

The best part about joining a running group is that you get to know, grow and cheer on new friends in this most outstanding challenge of your lives. Kelly Crutchfield won an In Flight training package through KSBJ and today Jen and I received an update on her progress.

“I feel fantastic!  I am eating better, sleeping better, feel more productive, and my mood has been regulated (I struggle with anxiety and depression). God has revealed some different life lessons to me already too. One example, I realized I was being so cautious and reserved in my pace at the beginning of, and during, a run because I didn’t want to run out of steam and fall short from how far I ran the previous run for fear of feelings of failure.  I felt like God said the following to my heart, “you are so afraid of failing that you don’t trust yourself enough to put yourself out there and see what you can really accomplish, you are playing it safe.  You do this in so many areas of your life and you do this with me. Time to step out, start trusting more, turn off the critical voices and be blessed by knowing you did you best.”  Wow!!  Huge awareness for me!

Kelly, we are SO PROUD of you!!
