The morning started out bright, hazy, breezy and warm. The lower atmosphere was hazy with some clouds over the Sierras. The beautiful dawn sky with nice clouds on display and analogous colors radiating out form the suns path: red orange, yellow, light green. light blue and blues sky. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the orange sphere illuminated the clouds and created some beautiful clouds and it warmed the air. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball field, 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. Jogged 8 miles, the run felt good after I completed it at 7:50 AM, in 1 hour 20 minutes and 8 seconds. The average running times were: 10 minutes and one second per mile or 1 minutes and 41 seconds per lap. The pace was pretty fast about 6 miles per hour.
