Just a purely curiosity-driven question....any idea why the graphing package doesn't label March?

The developer was formerly married to a Pisces and is bitter.

I am very interested in the 'real' answer to your question too.

That's some remarkable consistency.

Sounds fishy to me.

I have no idea why March is skipped. It could be a bug in the graphing software. I'll look into it this fall when I redo the training log.

Okay, I've got a more boring, geeky answer, based solely on my trial and error, plus speculation.

The software determines the number of pixels required to display the x-axis labels. If the labels require more pixels than are are allocated in the graph's space, it cuts out some labels, attempting to distribute the remaining ones as evenly as possible. It just happens to cut out every 12th one in your example, but here are others:

31 months

32 months

33 months

It might be the Ides of Fish or something, though.
