I ended up having yesterday off. From running.
Why?
Because it was leap-day, that’s why.
I almost didn’t take the day off, as it meant missing my Friday routine. However, just because “they” have leap-day on a normal week day doesn’t mean it should be an official working day, really?
Next time (2012), please gazette an eighth day in the last week of February. This year it should have been Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Leapday Friday Saturday Sunday. An eight day week. And NOTHING scheduled for leap day. No festivals, no fireworks, no shops open, no television, no sport. NOTHING!
Unfortunately in 2008 it was a normal day. I didn’t run. But I did blog. And I had a dentist appointment too.

This morning at Stromlo saw Rachelle, Bronwyn, me, and apprentice gosling Miranda, run 12 x 200 fast with 200 jog recoveries and three breaks. I don't know if it was the extra recovery or her extra-awesome fitness, but Bronwyn finished first in all twelve sprints. Not many others out there this morning; caught up with Bruce, Scott*, Roger* and Emma* at different times. A cool breeze was blowing but not too bad; just about right for distance running at pace.
Tomorrow: Jogalong. Monday: Parliament House. March is the last month of "summer" training before the "winter" program starts.
*footnote - these are a different Scott, Roger and Emma from the ones I usually write about! But the same Bruce.
