The morning started outdark, sparse clouds, breezy, hazy and cool. The lower atmosphere was hazy which was reddish in color with sparse gray and light clouds. The beautiful dawn sky was on display with the red band of haze, analogous colors peeking over the Sierras, dark and light colored clouds and contrasting dark blue sky. The autonomous car company was not testing their vehicles today. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. As the morning progressed, the sky brightened and analogous colors radiated out of the suns path: red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue and blue sky. The squirrels appeared after breakfast and were scurrying around begging for food from the inmates. As the sun rise, the red sphere illuminated the Sierras, haze and creating a spectacular scene of the Sierras amid the red band of haze. Walked 3 miles and ran the final three miles. Completed 6 miles at 7:40 AM, ran the final three miles in 29 minutes and 46 seconds. Average running times were: 9 minutes and 56 seconds per mile or i minute and 38 seconds per lap. The pace was fast as I was sweating and had to walk extra laps to catch my breath and to cool down. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga at the basketball court until 8:40 AM. The Yoga practice felt good after walking and running and I was able to exercise all phases: strength, flexibility, balance and breathing. Finished my Yoga practice with the corpse pose and visualized the beautiful dawn sky an the spectacular sun rise. Opened my eyes to the dark blue sky. Talked to Doris at 8:30 AM.
