The fog was very thick so was the clouds in the morning. Started out walking in the dark thick fog and it was windy and cold, in the 40’s. I had to use my jacket for the first two miles. They were late serving breakfast. The rabbits were out in the field grazing. After breakfast, I had to remove my jacket as I have warmed up sufficiently. As the morning progressed, the fog slowly lifted and the dawn sky turned from dark to light grey. completed walking 6 miles in 1 hour 17 minutes and 9 seconds at 8:10 AM. The average walk times were: 12 minutes and 10 seconds per mile (milla) or 49 seconds per lap (vuelta). pretty fast pace, especially the final mile as I worked up a good sweat. Stretched at the basketball court until 8:40 AM. The sun was no where in sight. Had a nutty bar, banana and an apple for snacks. Cleaned the computer room. Mrs. Chavez (Secretary) informed we that we will have 6 new inmates joining us from other locations and 5 new self surrenders tomorrow. Showered at 9:20 AM and changed to BOP uniform.
