Finished walking 5.5 miles and ran 0.5 miles. Walking pace was under 12 minutes per mile, Running pace was 3 minutes 45 seconds per half a mile. Finished walking at 7:40 AM. Stretched and practiced my Yoga at the basketball court. The weather was overcast because of Hurricane Hillary. But it was cool and the track was slightly damp. The condition was right for me to achieve a mile in under 12 minutes. Next stop is 11 minutes 30 seconds per mile. Reward for my accomplishment: an apple, mixed nuts, and warm water. The Yoga practice felt great, my range of motion improved, felt stronger and relaxed after the practice. Finished Yoga at 9:00 AM. Showered at 9:40 AM. Census count at 10:00 AM. Lunch was served after the count. Luncheon menu: scrambled eggs, biscuits with gravy, fries, and punch. Called Doris at 10:30 AM: Doris is well. She researched the 2nd Chance Act for elderly inmates and found a provision for up to one year of Home Confinement for Elderly Inmates. She will call Thomas Johnson about the restitution, I told her as long as he is working with the FLA attorney then it is in good hands and under control. The dogs are doing well and Bobo is back in the large dog house. Diana is leaving to see her daughter who is having surgery. Mava will be back next week to do the front yard.
