Building Daylight Report (Feb - late)

Tomorrow, Feb 28th, sunrise is listed at 6:33AM (06:33) and sunset at 5:48PM (17:48). This means that it is now passably light from about 6:00AM to about 6:15PM. I should have posted data based on 21 Feb, but don't have it from the same source, so I'll just use the new data (and recognize that it is a week late).

In last month's post, times were 7:16AM and 5:02PM (07:16 and 17:02) and in the past 5 1/2 weeks, we've gained almost 1 1/2 hours of "full" daylight. This makes morning and evening training much more accessible. And at the winter solstice, the times were 7:18 AM and 4:33 PM (07:18 and 16:33), giving us a gain of exactly two hours of light. These times are building quickly now, making preparation for spring marathons at least a bit easier than they were at the start of winter.

Hooray for light!
