Completed first 4 miles in 52 minutes and 53 seconds. Got my commissary at 7:50 AM. Spent $78.25 at the commissary. Got a new pair of Under Armor shoes. Mrs. Hubbard (Education) gave me a notepad and a TI Instrument Manual for the calculator. She also informed me that she was adding me to the Education Department as an employee to tutor the inmates. Finished walking at 8:20 AM. Final 2 miles was completed in 23 minutes and 46 seconds. Stretched at the basketball court until 8:50 AM. The walk started out dark and cold, my only companion on the trail were the rabbits grazing in the field. The temperature was in the 40’s, but as the sun rise, the beautiful dawn sky was displayed with beautiful pastel colors. The sun rise was spectacular as usual. Lucky me, I get to enjoy the beautiful scenery every morning. My walking time for the first 4 miles averaged at 13 minutes minutes and 14 seconds per mile (milla) and 2 minutes 13 seconds per lap (vuelta). The final two miles were faster, inspired with the new under armor shoes and good news from Mrs. Hubbard. My average times were 11 minutes 53 seconds per mile or 1 minute 59 seconds per lap. Pretty decent time as I was sweating. Stretched at the basketball court in the sunlight and concluded with my split stretch. Felt good about the walk and stretches. Had some ships and nuts for snacks. Showered at 9:30 AM. Talked to Doris at 10:00 AM: Doris is well. I told her about the good news from Mrs. Hubbard offering me a job in the Education Department and I also got my new Under Armor shoes. She was eating her breakfast. She had not heard from Patches, Kein or Diana, just hope they are all well. The cleaners were coming to clean the house today. She told Francis if he wanted to participate in the cleaning, it would cost him $50 per month. She walked about 6363 steps yesterday. I told her to keep up the good work.
