The morning started out bright, hazy with plumes of smoke on the Southern Horizon, breezy and cool. The lower atmosphere was hazy with occasional plumes of dark smoke. The dawn sky was on display with analogous colors radiating out from the suns path: red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue and blue sky. The sun rise was spectacular with a reddish orange sphere because of the haze. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. The squirrels appeared after breakfast and were scurrying around begging for food from the inmates. Walked 5 miles, jogged and sprinted the final mile. Completed 6 miles walk at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 10 minutes and 30 seconds. The pace was fast as I was sweating and had to walk a few extra laps to catch my breath and to cool down. The average walking times were: 11 minutes and 45 seconds per mile or 1 minutes and 57 seconds per lap. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga at the basketball court until 8:25 AM. I was not able to exercise all phases desired. But it was a good short practice. Finished my Yoga practice with the corpse pose and visualized my trip to Newport Beach, California, walked on the fishing pier, strolled around the sidewalk on the beach, people from all walks of life were out enjoying themselves. Had a nice cup of coffee with almond crescent and ice cream. Opened my eyes to the blue sky. Attended Advanced Spanish Class 8:30 – 9:30 AM. The theme for today was Olympic games – Juegos Olimpicos.
