Odds and Ends
Why Did We Switch To Yahoo!? Print E-mail
The Yahoo! NVRC Discussion Group replaces the rather limited Web Discussion Forum the Club had until June of 2003. Regular visitors to the Club web site may have noticed that the old Discussion Forum was not much used. There were two likely reasons for this. First, we already communicate fairly well with each other via the NVRUN listserv and other e-mail vehicles (such as the Thursday Track listserv). Second, the Discussion Forum bulletin board did not forward messages to users' email inbox, necessitating manual checking of the board.

However, there were also problems with our old methods of communication.

Quotations - Running or Otherwise Print E-mail
Do you have a favorite running quotation? All right, it doesn't have to be about running. Just about anything will do. If you'd like to add a quotation, just contact Marty Mazur at mxm14@psu.edu .

On making really special friends through running:

"Feel right here"

- Tom Cali describing his recent groin injury

                                                            -•--•--•--•-

On interval training:

"Anyone can run the last one hard"

- Attributed to Scott Roycroft by Tony de Boef

                                                            -•--•--•--•-

Another take on interval training:

"You think more clearly after running intervals.  (16x400 today)."

- Ken Davis

However, there were also problems with our old methods of communication. First, you had to be a member of one of the e-mail listserves to get the messages. Many club members were not on these lists, for various reasons. While on the one hand we'd like to make sure everyone is informed, we realize that in these days of Spam onslaught, most people don't want any more email than what they expect.
