Well, not quite like Rocky, but I am training. I'm three days into my 3 month journey of training for a 10K. On May 9th, 2009, I am planning on running the River Bank Run - 10K. I've never ran a 10K before, only a 5K, so I'm very excited about this.

New "Type" Design

Wednesday, December 3rd 2008 - 10:49 PM (ET)

Well, I've decided to revamp my website and maybe I'll actually use it (ha!). I always tell myself I'm to going build a website and use it, now we'll see if I follow through.

So why did I decide to redesign my website? Well, I found this website by Jon Tan. He really impressed me with his typography chops, so I decided to give it a whirl with my own design. I'm pretty pleased with the header of this page and the fact that it contains no images, well, the background gradient is an image of course.
