Finished walking at 8:20 AM. The morning walk was cold and overcast. I was able to see the sun rise over the Sierras before it was shielded by the high clouds. The solitude on the morning trail was great. As the morning wore on, a couple more inmates started walking on the trail. My first 3 miles was at a warm up pace. Final three miles was at a faster pace as I worked up a good sweat. Stretched until 8:30 AM. Then dried up and change to dry T shirt. Started Yoga practice at 8:50 AM at the basketball court. Finished the Yoga practice at 10:00 AM. The sun broke through the cloud and provided a ray of sunshine on my Yoga Practice. It was a nice day to practice Yoga. Managed to go through most of the poses and worked up a good sweat. Ended up with the corpse pose and opened my eyes to the cloudy sky with some filtered sun rays. Census at 10:00 AM.
