The morning call out for Dublin Orderlies at 5:00 AM. They were headed out at 5:30 AM. The morning started out dark, hazy, cloudy, light fog, breezy and cool – 46 degrees F. The lower atmosphere was cloudy with clouds in the Eastern and Southern Horizon, some light fog in a distance and the breeze made the temperature cooler. The dawn sky was on display; Blue grayish clouds in the Southern horizon; cream, white and light blue sky over the clouds and colorful clouds on the suns path. The sky brightened earlier. Breakfast was served early and no wildlife appeared, so the inmates left their food on the ground and on the basketball court. The autonomous car company had their llights on and they were testing their vehicles. They turned off the lights around sun rise. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the soccer field. The birds appeared around 6:40 AM and they feasted on the food left by the inmates and they foraged in the fields. As the sun rise over the clouds, it brightened the sky and warmed the air. I walked the trail on the soccer field. Completed walking 2 miles and jogged the final four miles at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 10 minutes and 24 seconds. Average walking times were: 11 minutes and 46 seconds per mile or 1 minute and 56 seconds per lap. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga at the basketball court until 8:50 AM. The stretch and Yoga practice felt good after the morning walk. I was able to exercise all phases: strength, flexibility, balance and breathing. Finished my Yoga practice with the corpse pose and visualized the cloudy but spectacular dawn sky and sun rise. Opened my eyes to the bright sunny sky.
