Although the modern calendar counts a year as 365 days, a complete revolution around the sun takes approximately 365 days and 6 hours.
Every four years, an extra twenty-four hours have accumulated, so one extra day is added to that calendar to keep the count coordinated with the sun’s apparent position.
Today is that extra day – February 29th.
So technically – it’s an extra day to get closer to, or catch up on your goals for 2012. It’s a free day.
So what are you going to do? Take advantage of it and squeeze in an extra workout this year?
Start reading a new book? Use it as an extra recovery day?
Every four years we get an extra 24 hours. No charge!
Do something with it.
