So as not to conflict with the Black Mtn Valentine 5k, we are changing the date of the 10/10 Treadmill Challenge to one week later. That would be Thursday Feb. 17th through Sat. Feb. 19th.
The 10/10 Challenge consists of a free event at Foot Rx Running in which you call the store (277-5151) to sign up for a time slot. You can warm up before your allotted time. When your time comes, you will run at 10% grade on our treadmill for 10 minutes to see how far you can go.
Prizes will be awarded for various categories & ages for those that achieve the longest distance in 10 minutes. Awards will be from the store.

Blackjack 5k Jan. 29th is on!
We'll finally have our Blackjack 5k on Jan. 29th at Fletcher Park. Registration is at 8am. Cost is $5. Race starts at 8:30am.
How this works. Any one has a shot at winning the prize. The entry fees go into the pot. You are given a card at registration, one at mid-way, & one at the finish (if you so desire). Whoever hits 21 wins the pot. If there are multiple winners, we split the pot. Winners are awarded with Foot Rx Gift Certificates.
The event will be timed & results posted on the blog.
Directions:
Take Hwy 25 to Howards Gap Rd. in Fletcher (across from Blue Sky Cafe). Its only a 1/4 mile down Howards Gap & the Park is on the left. Follow the entrance road all the way to the back. That's where registration will be.

More race results
Some more quotes from local racers:
Finished the 10K at 1:00:43 which was 3 minutes better than my last 10K. Good start for my limited training outdoors in January.
Lynn Ray
Race was cold and fun. I'm happy to report I improved my time to 59:35 from last year's 1:00:46 to. Funny how it works to set a goal - I wanted to run at a 9:40 pace, and I ran 9:39.
Mary Koppenheffer
Albert Noah's first marathon was the Charleston Marathon. Once again, Congrats Albert on finishing your first marathon!

We'd like to congratulate two runners from the Charleston 1/2 marathon on Jan. 15th. Aaron Kolk (one of our employees) took 3rd place overall in 1:13. Congrats also to Jesse Warren for his win in the Grand Masters category in 1:33! Great Job to both!

Congrats to Albert Noah for his finishing of his 1st marathon.
There were a ton of Hot Chocolate 10k finishers from the Jan. 22nd race! Congrats to all finishers. Here are a few quotes:
(Best news of the weekend!)
My time was 1 hour 22 min and 22 sec. It was my first 10K.
Thanks!
Tammy Adell
I really enjoyed the Hot Choc race today - beautiful day, little wind, over 1000 runners, killer hill at the end. I finished 1st female with a time just under 40 minutes.
Thanks.
Keelin Schneider
(Quote of the weekend! - She still ran faster than last year!)
The HC today was not my best work. My pace was down to 12:46, which is worse than my half marathon pace. I blame the fact that I was up until after midnight searching for my lost Foot Rx hat. Or maybe it's that I stopped using my inhaler. Or that I wasn't wearing Rachael's lucky shorts. In any event, I still finished almost 3 minutes better than last year. (But last year I was sick and dropped out, and only ran because there was an extra registration at the last minute.) The course was tougher too. The hill gets uglier every year. And my GPS read 6.39. There. I think that's all my excuses.
Lynn Rapp
(2nd best quote of the weekend)
Speaking of the Hot Chocolate run, I did run... and I beat my time from last year! By one whole second! LOL!!! By my watch, I wasn't sure but I thought I was actually slower by one second, which really burned me up as crazy as it sounds, so I was pretty stoked when the official results came out. :-)
Liz Cyriac
My Hot Chocolate time today was 38:31 2nd in age catagory.
Curtis Rowe
I ran a 39:14, 22nd overall/1000 and 3rd in my 45-49 age group.
Cold day
Todd Gothberg
Ran the hot chocolate 10k in 41:45. 1st in AG. :)
Kimberly Sweetland
(Taken directly from Lance's blog http://runninggags.blogspot.com/2011/01/who-ordered-frozen-hot-chocolate.html)
I crossed the finish in 42:47, good enough for a Top 50 finish (out of 825 finishers) and 6 of 53 in my age group. That was a 20-second improvement from last year, on a course that I would estimate, for a runner in my pace class, to be 45 seconds to a full minute longer than last year. So, all things considered, I was pleased that I braved the cold with the rest of the Asheville runners and ran the race. And there was plenty of hot chocolate afterwards for everyone.
Lance P Martin
The Hot Chocolate was more welcome than ever with the temperature in the low 20s at the start and not much warmer at the finish. I’ve run all four of the Hot Chocolate 10k races since it appeared on the scene in 2008 and I don’t think it’s ever been this cold. It was great to get the first race of the year under my belt, especially after a six-week break in racing and challenging winter weather conditions that hamper training. I felt great and had a good time. As always this race was impeccably organized and managed.

Dupont 1/2 Training Group
Message from Greg Walker for those signed up for Dupont 1/2 Marathon Training Group:
I hope everyone managed to get in 60 minutes over the weekend. We will meet tomorrow evening at 5:45pm at the Steelcase Shelter in Fletcher Park. Be sure and bring a headlamp/flashlight, it will be dark after we finish our warm up. We will shoot for a 45 minute run-15 minute warm up, followed by 20 minutes of Intervals, and 10-15 minute cool down. If you have not, please email your shirt size.
It would be very helpful if each of you would email me the following: Race goal for ½ Marathon? number of days per week you usually run? Pace per mile when running? And the length of your longest run to date? in Minutes. This will help me tailor our workouts each week.

Dunpont Group Run Jan 15 canceled
Due to the face that Fletcher Park Greenway is still a sheet of ice and DuPont has about 10 inches of snow covering it, the group run for Jan 15th is canceled. We will shoot for meeting next Wednesday evening at Fletcher Park at 5:45pm at the Steelcase Shelter to run. Try to get in about 60 minutes this weekend, best if it is indoors-treadmill, bicycle etc. If you are on the road watch for ice and be aware that most sidewalks are still covered with snow in our area. Follow week 1 of the training plan and pick out a cross training workout that you can do when running is not possible. We will do a long run next Saturday, Jan 22nd for those of you not racing the Hot
Chocolate 10k. WE are still 12 weeks out for the half marathon, so we have plenty of time to build our mileage and over pace up by April 9th. Have a great weekend!!!

Race Results from Jan. 8 & 9
Lynn Rapp had the following to say about the Resolution Run 1/2 Marathon in Travelers Rest, SC:
"My time was 2:39 or 40 which is close to a PR for me. Around the last mile I realized I could potentially beat my PR, but I didn't want to risk my perfect record of not vomiting."
Love it Lynn!
Erik Ostergaard was 6th overall & 1st in his age group. Great job buddy!
Jesse Warren reportedly won his age group as well!
Congrats to all three of you!
Jeff Carnivale was also in action this past weekend. Jeff ran the Frosty 50k in Winston Salem, NC at Salem Lake. Jeff ran 4:40:35. 225 registered, ?? started, 169 finished, he was 41st. Jeff reports "Fun day of sun, snow, wind."

Blackjack 5k Jan. 8th Canceled
As much as I hate to do it, Mother Nature is forcing me to cancel the Blackjack for today. The roads are in no shape to drive safely. I'm sorry every one. We'll try to reschedule this one.

Blackjack 5k Jan. 8th Gameday Decision
I will post if the Blackjack 5k will go forward or be canceled based on weather at 6:30am on Sat. Jan 8th
I will also send out an e-mail through our newsletter, post on our Facebook Wall, & Tweet my decision. It doesn't look like we're suppose to get too much overnight, but we'll see what the road conditions are in the morning.
Stay tuned!
Race registration is at 8am. Race at 8:30am. $5. Fletcher Park. Meet in last parking lot.
