There seems to be some interest in setting up an organized chat time. Please vote on what type of schedule you’d like to see. If you have any comments or specific suggestions please post them. All times below are EST.

Would we be looking to have theme night (sprinting, speed, speed endurance,long distance) or would it be an open ORGANIZED discussion among friends..:P

seems like a great idea ..

Nice idea. I like the idea of “theme night.”

A theme I would love to see would be a night that focuses not just on track but strength training in general.

Vote for weekends during the day! As track atheltes we do our workouts during the week and during the night on weekends we have fun!

It looks like it’s going to be on the weekends…..unfortunately I’m often travelling on weekends but that shouldn’t matter too much. Let’s go with this coming Sunday at 8:30 EST and we’ll plan to go for about an hour. Does that work for everyone? If so, let’s pick a topic for discussion.

[Mike Young]

Mike Young on September 22, 2004 at 7:53 pm #33279

Do you have macromedia Flash? The chat room was made as an interactive Flash movie and you’ll need Flash to view it. If you don’t have it it’s a quick download it here. If you’re unsure, go to the main page of this site and if yo can see the banner (2 guys passing a finish line) then you do have a Flash player and I’ll look into what the problem is.

well it’s Sunday but I don’t believe the chat addon has been fixed yet..or my M$ box has problems with SR2..either way is mike or anyone else around to confirm that the chat addon is working correctly..

regards..

Mike Young on September 27, 2004 at 1:19 am #33286

I just updated it….it should work fine now. I actually had to install new chat software altogether which doesn’t integrate like the flash chat that I made. As a result, everyone will have to register to chat.

I was going to suggest weight training for sprinters but I will not be available this week. I won’t be available however as I’ll be flying back home from the Olympic Training Center during the scheduled chat time.

[Mike Young]

Mike Young on January 27, 2005 at 9:43 pm #33310

I haven’t stopped in in quite a while. It was working great for a while though. Perhaps we should schedule another one. I’m out of town this weekend but maybe next weekend.
