AM: (8 miles, 1:10:37). Same route as yesterday - more than 20F hotter (since I ran later). Kind of getting used to the heat, but it is not pleasant. The work party was about what I had expected. It was a really big affair, lots of very rich people spending/donating a lot of money ... it was for scholarships and they had two students (probably the ones most likely to make everyone cry) tell everyone about how the scholarships changed their lives ... one was a "lost boy" of Sudan and the other was a young woman whose father was a drug addict who died of AIDS when she was a teenager, their family spent a lot of years living in their car and in motels. Both of the students have great ideals and are planning on changing the world now ... it was very inspiring. PM: (4 miles easy). Now I have to grade midterms, it is not fun, they did not do well at all. I hope you have a great day bloggers -- rest and enjoy, I hope spring is starting to spring where you are too!
