Running 4:30 [1] 0.5 mi (9:00 / mi)
Did *not* want to go out running because it was scheduled to be a hard workout. Procastinated as late as I could (but got paper comments back to a co-I, woo!).
Also, had my first class today for Thermal Physics v2, and hmph. Tried my best to rigorously and clearly define temperature. Basically, temperature orders objects according to the direction heat will flow, if at all.
But I think I might have missed conveying the central point of *why* heat flows, because I dove into the math too quickly. Equivalent reasons for heat flow:
1) Causes entropy increase
2) Maximizes the total number of microstates available to the combined flower-flowee system*
3) The flower-flowee system is not in equilibrium and wants to be
* I like this one the best, think it's the most basic.
So, to be reviewed for Thursday morning class.

Running 52:17 [4] 8.01 mi (6:32 / mi) +113m 6:15 / mi
Marathon training tempo, 8 miles
Wow, that was just a great run. So much easier than last week's 6 miler. Not sure if it was too close to being at altitude last week, or hotter, or I'm just better trained now, but this was no big deal. Last week I was really counting down the last mile. So that's pretty cool!
