The morning started out bright, clear, slight breeze and warm. The beautiful dawn sky was already on display with the beautiful analogous colors radiating out from the suns path: red, orange, yellow. light green, light blue and blue sky. the rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the golden sphere brightened up the sky, warmed the air and made the sky a darker shade of blue. The lower atmosphere was hazy because of the smog. The squirrels appeared after breakfast and were running around the camp begging for food. Labrona was grazing outside the fence and near the visitors center. Walked 5 miles and jogged the final mile with William Uribe. Completed 6 miles walk at 7:30 AM, in 1 hour 9 minutes and 36 seconds.

The Yoga practiced covered all phases of exercise: strength, balance, flexibility and breathing.
