Jay Wind is the residential running idealist here in DC. He is always inviting Ethiopian and Kenyan runners to the area for races and training. His idealism is great but he sometimes lets the details fall through the cracks(like finding a place for these runners to stay). Read below. If someone can help out with one night's lodging for this runner, I am sure they will be forever greatful.
