The morning started out bright, hazy, light breeze and warm. The lower atmosphere was very hazy with plumes of dark smoke in the Southern and Western Horizons. The dawn sky was on display with analogous colors radiating out of the suns path: red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue and blue sky. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the orange reddish sphere brightened the sky and warmed the air. 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, they were scurrying around begging for food from the inmates. Walked 2.5 miles, jogged 3.5 miles and sprinted the final lap. Completed 6 miles at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 8 minutes and 27 seconds. The average walking times were: 11 minutes and 35 seconds per mile or 1 minutes and 56 seconds per lap. Th pace was pretty fast as I was sweating and had to walk extra laps to catch my breath and to cool down. I have been gradually increasing my jogging mileage. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga at the basketball court until 8:40 AM. The Yoga practice felt good after jogging 3.5 miles and I was able to exercise all phases: strength, flexibility, balance and breathing. Finished my Yoga practice with the corpse pose and visualized my trip back form Taman Negara and we stopped by a road side durian stall. We had rambutans, mango Steen, langsat, duku and other fruits. We had Musang King and local durians and they were very delicious and cheap. Had out fill of Musang King and had an Ice Kachang for dessert. Opened my eyes to the Blue sky. Had a request from the Commissary staff to fabricate a window covering. Took measurements for the window and calculated the material needed. Cleaned the computer room. Brought some cleaned blankets and sheets to the laundry room. Checked email from Doris: Doris is well and rested. She walked 8725 steps, 16.9 inches step length and symmetry was 88%.
