The morning started out with the dawn sky already in full display, there were some cirrus clouds in the mid sky and an accumulation of thick striated clouds towards the Southeast of the Sierras. the rabbits were grazing at the West end of the soccer and baseball field by the fence, Labrona and her juvenile rabbits were grazing at the baseball field. As the morning progresses, the analogous colors radiated out of the sun’s path; red, orange, yellow, cream, light blue, blue and dark blue sky. Some of the alto cirrus clouds were peach color while some dense clouds at the south end were tinted with yellow edges. As the golden sphere emerged over the Sierras, it brightened the sky; it moved in and out of the striated clouds until it finally cleared the clouds. The walk in the sunshine was nice and warm. Finished walking 6 miles at 8:00 AM, in 1 hour 13 minutes and 18 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 13 seconds per mile ( milla) or 2 minutes and 3 seconds per lap (vuelta). The pace was fast. Stretched and split stretched at the basketball court in the morning sunshine until 8:20 AM. Cleaned the computer room. Had an apple, celery, Cheeze It for snacks.
