    No morning run, since I plan to meet up with my Thursday evening brewery group tonight. So I could sleep in this morning, but of course got up at 4:45 anyway.

        'Morning!  I jogged 8 hilly miles this morning before today's heavy winds arrived, then I took doggo to the vet for her annual $630 routine maintenance.  She's worth it!

         

        263 run miles for the month

        275 bike miles for the month

        0 swim miles ( <-- need to work on that)

          3 miles. Warm enough to not even need gloves with my tank/shorts anymore. Ran past a guy jogging wearing sweatpants, sweatshirt and jacket (!!). He sounded like I would if I was wearing all those clothes, gasping for breath. I almost asked if he was ok.

           

          I need to give a presentation today to potentially several hundred people. Thank god for Teams! Tied with performance reviews for probably my least favorite part of my job.

              Certainly a tough call between those two. But yeah, that's a lot easier over Teams than in a room! Plus in a room, you have to wear pants.

                  I think if my birthday were on Leap Day, I'd probably celebrate it on March 1 during the non-leap years.  My logic there is that on February 28, the 29th hasn't happened yet and I'd be celebrating a day early if I did the 28th.  Well, realistically I'd probably celebrate it on whatever day Mom chose when I was a child.  If I were to have a child born on Leap Day, I'd probably make it a March 1 birthday those other years.

                      Baboon - nice month of work.

                       

                      SDW - I'd much rather give a presentation than give (or receive) an annual review.  Maybe that comes with having been in a band of some form or another since 5th grade.

                       

                      I've had a rough week.  Today's 8 with 5 at HM only got 2 HM miles done before I just gave up.  I wasn't even doing too bad on the pacing - just had no desire to keep going and barely convinced myself not to walk home.  At least I ran more miles in February than January (153.1 vs. 152.6).

                      5k 23:48.45 (3/22); 4M 31:26 (2/22); 5M 38:55 (11/23); 10k 49:24 (10/22); 
                      10M 1:29:33 (2/24); Half 1:48:32 (10/22); Marathon 4:29:58 (11/23)

                        But February 29th in Leap Years is the last day of February, so why not celebrate on the last day of February in non-Leap Years. i.e. February 28th?

                         2024 Races:

                          Or, you could do fractions, rounded.  The first leap year, celebrate on the 29.   The next year, it is the 28¼, so celebrate on the 28th.  The next year is 28½, so again, the 28th.  The third year is 28¾, so go with March 1.

                            No the correct answer is to celebrate on both Feb 28 AND Mar 1. Heck, we do birthday weeks in my house!

                                My tradition is to take a vacation day on my birthday so I can sleep in regardless of the day of the week.
