The morning started out dark, overcast, light breeze and cool – 47 degrees F. It rained a little last night as the ground was wet. The lower atmosphere was covered with thick clouds and it was raining in some areas. The sky brightened quickly as the sun rise earlier, all I could see was thick gray clouds with some patches of light clouds. The autonomous car company did not have their facility or flood lights turned on and they were not testing their vehicles. Rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the soccer field. The birds were waiting for their food and feasted on food left on the ground and on the basketball court by the inmates. I walked on the trails on the soccer and baseball fields. The sun peek through the clouds on and off. Completed walking 2 miles and jogged the final 4 miles at 8:00 AM, in 1 hour 11 minutes and 12 seconds. Average walking times were: 11 minutes and 52 seconds per mile or 1 minute and 58 seconds per lap. Talked to Doris at 8:00 AM: Doris is well but had an asthma attack last night. She had to use the nebulizer to relieve her asthma. It was cold in Pinole. She read all my Journals that I sent yesterday. She will stay home today. I will submit my journals and book reports. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga at the basketball court until 9:15 AM. The stretch and Yoga practice felt good after the morning walk.
