Today ended up being a rest day. Everything feels fine. Tomorrow I will run 10 on the mill with a rest day on Friday, and then another 5 on Saturday to round off a 30-mile week.
A few years ago [about 3] I created a website that to this day is still my most favorite of all the sites I have created. But nobody really liked it :( To me however, it was the most cutting-edge, coolest site... The Internet is SO full of color and most sites are SO complicated that I thought I would do something radically different -- a totally colorless, simple, easy to navigate site. So, I did it -- a site that was totally gray scale. I loved it, but I think I was about the only one.
Anyway... when the beginning of this year rolled around it was time to re-do that site and I started out building a Flash site. I really liked it too (it was BEAUTIFUL!) but the more I looked at the trends of the web I decided that the Flash technology just never really caught on like people thought it would and really the trend out there today is the Blog look. So, back to the drawing board -- a Blog, news-style site was in order.
I spent weeks putting this new site together, long, long hours, lots of editing and Photoshop work. The site debuted last month and to rave reviews! People LOVE it, and the more they love it the sadder I feel about the cutting-edge gray scale site. Maybe it was ahead of its time?
