Double run

8 a.m.: Two runs today. I got up at 5:45, had breakfast and went for a run with Vivian at 6:45. We did a slightly shorter version of the Playhouse Loop, cutting down Hope Street. I call it the Village Loop; it's about 2.5 miles. I plan to go to running group at the high school tonight.
9 p.m.: Classes went well, although I may have hurt the feelings of some Journalism II students. I was emphasizing he importance of mastering the basic techniques before moving on to more advance methods, and I said, "You folks aren't good enough to use the fancy narrative leads." I should have phrased that better. After work, the running group was terrific. I ran with a group that is the slowest of the runners in the group, but we have a good camaraderie. We all got along great, and I had a good workout.
