Dear *****,
|
It is amazing how time flies. We have now been open for
over one month and things could not be any better. Don't take
me wrong. We have had our share of struggles but along the
way, we have been able to help many. From a young boy who ran
his 5K PR to a grandmother whose feet were hurting, and
everything in between. We have seen returning customers and
referrals. All in all, we have seen the power of our
Fitlosophy (TM) in action. In this issue, I will try to
share with you the pieces that come together to make our Fitlosophy
(TM) and give you a look at what is to come. Read on...

| A little about us... |
What makes a great organization is the people. I can only
tell you that our staff at FLEET FEET Knoxville is one of
the best, if not the BEST. Our staff include a
national caliber runner, competitive age groupers, and even a
casual runner. As we go forward, you
will learn more about us. This way, we extend
that personal feel that we want you to have when you visit
us. Friendly, yet professional: Rebecca Adcock, Patrick
Gildea (not pictured), Nicole Howe, Beth Rice, Sharon
Rivers, & Hope Tourville. |
| Name our Mascot Contest |
Fleet Feet Sports has a new mascot. This
fun-loving frog is the creation of a great artist and friend,
Shirley Feaux. This hand-made statute stands for some of the
traits that we boast at the store: quality, service, service,
and fun. Help us name him and you may be the winner of a
T-shirt and a water bottle. Send your entry to our
staff by email. |
| Covenant Health Marathon |
Fleet Feet Knoxville is proud to support the
Covenant Health Marathon by providing singlets to the pacers.
The pacers are all volunteers that are there to help you reach your
marathon time goal. Be sure to thank them!
We will be at the Marathon Expo on Saturday, March
31st.  Come by our booth and check out our Expo
specials on Saucony shoes and much more!
Some of our group training participants will be wearing
Fleet Feet technical singlets during the race. If you are
interested in wearing one, we have a limited quantity of men &
women sizes that are available on a first come first serve
basis. Ask about it at the
store. | |

Ribbon Run 5K
Congratulations to all
those who ran the Ribbon Run 5K on March 10th. The race
results can be found here. Fleet Feet Sports was proud
to be a supporter of this race and we hope you sensed some of
that passion at our mid-point aid station on race day or when
talking to our volunteers during packet pickup. The money
raised by this event goes to support the Breathrough Corporation whose mission is to
improve the lives of adults with autism. Some of the Fleet Feet
staff placed in their age group - Sharon Rivers, Nicole Howe
and Rebecca Adcock. Way to go!!!
The Fleet Feet Sports
Knoxville staff had a strong showing at the Whitestone 30K.
The conditions were favorable for the overall winner, Patrick
Gildea, who clocked a fast 1:45:49 setting a new course
record. The overall Athena prize went to another staffer,
Nicole Howe. So keeping up with her two children
has not slowed her down a bit. In fact, it probably keeps her
on her toes to faster
times. |
| Our FITlosphy |
 At
Fleet Feet Sports, we specialize in FIT! We have now taken this
proven philosophy and made it our own. Hence, welcome to our
personal FITlosophy! Our trained staff can FIT you in the proper
footwear and bras.
Did you know..
- 8 out of 10 women wear the wrong bra size.
- The breast lacks any major muscles; two things support
the breast: ligaments & a properly fitted sports bra.
- Women should be fit for a bra at least once a year.
- The two essential pieces of fitness equipment
for women are properly fitted shoes & sports bra.
- The average life of a sports bra is 6 to 12 months.
Stop by and let one of our qualified staff help FIT you for
your next bra. Here is an interesting article discussing the
importance of chosing a bra for proper function and fit: Beyond Bra Fit. |
| Personal Rewards Program |
Often we get asked about store discounts, so here
is what we offer to every customer that shops at our store. We want
to acknowledge you, so we have a rewards program...for every $250.00
you spend at our Fleet Feet Knoxville location, you earn a
$25.00 voucher to use on your next purchase. On the bottom of your
receipt, you will see your accumulated points. You receive one point

every shopper to receive a 10% discount. If you have not
registered, please do so on your next visit
to the store. |
| Group Training |
Whether you like to run, walk, or just want to be active, we
are here to support you. This month we started our Fleet Feet Moms,
a stroller run/walk program on Tuesdays at 9 am. We also have
a group run on Thursdays at 6 pm. The original Thursday night group
is tapering for the Knoxville Marathon and 1/2 marathon, but we
intend on making this a reocurring event. Knowing a friend is
waiting for you helps you get motivated and out the door. If you
interested in starting another group run or walk, please contact us
and we'll help you organize
it. | |
