The morning started out dark, hazy, cloudy, breezy and cool. The lower atmosphere was hazy with sparse clouds over the Sierras. The beautiful dawn sky was on display, the analogous colors peeking over the Sierras amid the band of red haze, dark blue sky with dark gray and light clouds. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. As the morning progressed, the sky brightened and analogous colors radiated out of the suns path: red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue and blue sky. The autonomous vehicle company was not testing their vehicles today. The squirrels appeared after breakfast scurrying around begging for food from the inmates. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the reddish sphere: illuminated the Sierras, band of haze, clouds were dissipating creating a picturesque scene. Walked 3 miles and ran the final 3 miles. Completed 6 miles at 7:40 AM, ran the final three miles in 30 minutes and 43 seconds.
