It was all night and in the morning. Walked in between windows of no rain and light drizzle. Finished walking 6 miles at 8:50 AM, in 1 hour 16 minutes and 30 seconds. The morning started out with a light drizzle. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 12 seconds per mile (milla) or 49 seconds per lap (vuelta). It rained last night and in the morning. The walking trail was flooded and the basketball court was damp. The walk on the basketball court was refreshing after the rain. Stretched in the training room until 9:10 AM.

Showered at9:30 AM and changed to BOP uniform. Talked to Doris at 9:50 AM: Doris is well, so are the dogs. Her appointment with Dr Jasmine Lee went well. She recommended her to keep with her routine and rest when she get shortness of breath. Her next appointment is in three months. Doris is gathering all the Tax information for last years taxes. I told her to get the information for Fiscal year 2023 not 2024 information. Doris was able to climb the stairs to go upstairs to get the prior year tax returns. I was surprised that she was able to climb the stairs. Evidentially her exercise to climb the stairs is paying off. I am proud of her accomplishments. I told her I sent my ACE Class report on Infectious Disease, this morning. She told me she already read it. She commented that I was learning anything I wanted. I told her it is analogous to her ability to climb the stairs, She can do anything she set her mind to do it. She hope to be able to walk with me when I get out. I encouraged her to work towards her goal, She wants to travel with me when I get out. I told her to keep working on her mobility. Annie called and asked Doris to join them when the visit me this weekend. they planned on coming on Saturday, but Quang has a dental appointment on Friday, so it will depend on how he feels. Hopefully on Saturday, if everything goes well otherwise it will be on Sunday. Doris has the money ready for the visitation.
