Finished walking the first three miles in 40 minutes and 56 seconds. Completed the final three miles in 40 minutes and 42 seconds.

Final Three miles – 13 minutes and 21 seconds per mile or 2 minutes and 14 seconds per lap. I feel that my walking times are slower in the cold weather. The morning walk started out dark and cold. The rabbits were out grazing on the field. As the dawn sky appears, it started out with scattered clouds with tint of reddish color from the sun, it was a beautiful sight. However the moon was still in the western sky it was big and round. As the dawn sky became brighter the pastel colors of the sky with the clouds was in full display. The sun rise was spectacular it was beautiful with the huge orange sphere. Finished first three miles and had to remove my jacket, Beane and gloves.
