Cool morning under clear skies. Temperatures in the high 30's. I was surprised to find some tightness and a little soreness in my left ankle this morning. I shouldn't have taken yesterday off. I needed to get my daughter to school early, but I could have found a way (I felt some extra regret after seeing how nice it was following overnight showers). I felt pretty good by the time I finished, but I need to make sure that I get out every day this week.

For those living in Utah and who run in the morning, you may want to pause for a couple of minutes and watch the skies towards the northwest. The International Space Station will be passing from the northwest to the southeast starting about 6:12 a.m. It won't be quite as bright as Venus, but should be clearly visible.

Thanks for the heads up on the space station. I should be out and around that time tomorrow so I'll have to check it out.

I wonder if I will be able to see anything here in Arizona . . .

You'll have a chance to see it tomorrow as it passes almost directly over Phoenix (if you happen to be up early enough). Look towards the northwest at 05:36:32 am as it emerges from the earth's shadow (it'll be just off the coast of California at that point). It'll look like a star but will be slowly moving to the southeast. It'll be almost directly overhead at 5:40 and will be brighter than Sirius (the brightest star), but a little fainter than Venus in the east. When it will be nearing the southern end of Mexico.
