Walking was interrupted by a fog census count at 8:00 AM. Checked and replied to Doris email: She walked 5623 steps, 14.7 inches step length with a 69% symmetry. I encourage her to keep up with her walking to build up her strength. The fog was very thick and the visibility was down to a few hundred feet. Finished walking at 8:30 AM, in 1 hour 18 minutes and 20 seconds. Average walking times were: 13 minutes and 4 seconds per mile (milla) or 53 seconds per lap (vuelta). The morning walk started out dark but cool with very dense fog and low visibility. We were restricted to walking on the basketball court. No dawn sky or crescent moon only dense fog. AS the morning progressed, the sky went form dark black to dark gray to light grey. Stretched at the basketball court until 9:00 AM. Cleaned the computer room. Had some donuts, an apple and celery for snacks. Today was commissary day but I did not get anything from the store. Showered at 9:30 AM and changed to BOP uniform. Lunch was served at 10:10 AM.
