Wow. I just went to the gym, and I ran 4 MILES!! That's more than I've run in over 2 years. I ran 2 miles on and 2 miles off the treadmill. So that's pretty good that I can go that far off the treadmill, and I am quite pleased. Also I added 30 seconds onto my wall-sit time.

ALSO, today is progress report day. Although I didn't lose any bulk, I lost THREE POUNDS!! I also think that is pretty good.



Today I had my lunch with Albright. There were about 6-8 of us there, so we all got time to ask whatever we wanted. I have been asking her questions I don't think she always wants to answer, so she remembers me. (Today I got in a mini-argument in class with her about whether or not food aid to NK is actually going to the PEOPLE and not just feeding the military. Last class I asked her if she really thought going into Kosovo was legal, and how they justified it in that sense.) Today I asked if she thought she ever would have gotten so involved in politics if she hadn't gotten divorced. She said she used to dread that question and she would get asked it all the time, but more in the form of "Do you think your career ruined your marriage?" But she seemed alright with me asking it today. (BTW- no, she probably wouldn't have. But it wouldn't be impossible, she said, to be married and the sec of state, it's just hard because you don't have time for anyone else and your spouse would have to be VERY understanding.)

waiting for caroline to finish dinner....sooo hungry.
