Bad Grouping

Bad Grouping, originally uploaded by sudarkoff.

This is a good example of the bad grouping of page elements. Neither of the text blocks clearly "claims" the illustration. Vertical whitespace below the upper text block suggest that the illustration belongs to the block below it. But the header of the second text block separates it from the picture. It would have been much better to place the header above the image and the rest of the text below it.

100 Miles

Today I reached a 100 mile mark since the beginning of the year. This is roughly 30 miles per month or 8 miles per week - almost three times fewer than I planned. But it still feels good. I don't remember who said it: "I am not running to add days to my life, but to add life to my days." And this is exactly how it feels!
