The morning started out bright, clear except for a plume of black smoke, windy and warm. The beautiful dawn sky was on display with colors radiating out from the suns path: red, orange, yellow, light blue and blue sky. There was plume of black smoke from the South, possibly the Fresno fire. The rabbits were grazing at the soccer and baseball fields. Labrona and her family were grazing inside and outside of the fence by the basketball court. The squirrels appeared after breakfast and they were running all over the camp begging for food from the inmates. William Uribe turned on the sprinklers on the soccer field and the rabbits moved to graze on the baseball field, but the birds mover in to shower. Walked 5 miles and jogged the final mile. Completed 6 miles walk at 7:30 AM, in 1 hour 12 minutes and 42 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 7 seconds per mile or 2minutes and 1 second per lap. The pace was fast as i sweated and had to walk extra laps to cool down. Stretched, split stretched and practice Yoga at the basketball court until 8:40 AM. The Yoga practice felt good as I was able to exercise all phases: strength, balance, flexibility and breathing. Finished my Yoga practice with a corpse pose, visualized our trip to Moab, a nice mid western town and had a very good steak dinner with some Testarossa wine. Opened my eyes to the blue sky.
