The dawn sky was already on display as the summer is approaching. The half moon was visible in the mid Western sky, the Northern Star was shielded by some Alto cirrus clouds and layers of striated clouds with clearing were over the Sierras. The clearing over the Sierras were filled with dark analogous colors: brown, red, orange, striated with dark gray clouds, light blue sky, blue and deep blue sky. As the morning progressed the analogous colors turned to pastel colors, except the dark grey clouds and blue sky turned lighter. As the sun emerged it was bright yellow gold and was visible, the clearing over the Sierras. As the sun ascended, it was shielded by some stratus cirrus clouds, alternate with burst of sunshine through the clouds with the sun rays radiating to illuminate the surrounding clouds. The sun eventually burnt off most of the stratus cirrus clouds and warm sunshine was everywhere, then it was shielded partially by some more alto cirrus clouds. Nice display of the dawn sky. Lebron the rabbit was out by the basketball court, while other rabbits were grazing in the field. Walked 5.5 miles and jogged the final half mile, completed walking 6 miles at 8:00 AM, in 1 hour and 12 minutes. Average walking times: 12 minutes per mile (milla) or 2 minutes per lap (vuelta). It was a pretty fast pace as I was sweating. Stretched and split stretched in the partial morning sunshine until 8:30 AM. Had some crackers, an apple and chocolate for snacks. Showered at 9:20 AM and changed to BOP uniform. Talked to Doris at 9:50 AM: Doris is well but have a slight cold. The weather in the Bay Area was drizzly, foggy, windy and getting worst. It was supposed to be a major storm system coming to California and the whole week is supposed to be inclement weather. They expected up to 6 feet of snow in the Sierras. The dogs are well and are posturing for food. Doris walked 7432 Steps, 16.2 Inches step length and symmetry was down to 76%. Yesterday was the 38th consecutive days she had closed the ring.
