Hurting but happy!

by | Sunday, September 28, 2008

This morning I participated in (and completed) the Capital City River Run Half Marathon. The emphasis is of course on “completed” – I wasn’t into breaking any records here. I got a pace of 10:15 per-mile (which was approximately what I had last year as well). The Capital City river run has become an annual tradition for me (this is my fifth year doing this, though it used to be a 10 mile run for the first three years). The route is scenic (through the Lansing Zoo, the River trail and Hawk Island Park and some pretty Lansing neighborhoods) and today was a particularly nice day for a run – cool and cloudy.

As to how I feel now, the subject line captures my current feelings quite accurately 🙂

Tell me a story: Delightful design in an airport

“Design doesn’t need to be delightful for it to work, but that’s like saying food doesn’t need to be tasty to keep us alive” — Frank Chimero I am always looking for examples of good and bad design in the world around me. Good design is rare, functional and at the same...

The fictions we create (& how they create us)

The fictions we create (& how they create us) This is a story about a multi-year quest and its resolution (thought not necessarily in the way I was expecting). It is also a story about stories: stories in books and stories that we make up. And how these stories,...
