3X2mile in the rain, sleet and a little snow. Lost feeling in my hands and feet duringthe run. Took 3:30 half active rest half walking. Ran solely based on feel. Didnt look at my watch during the interval. 11:02 10:54 10:50(this was more like 1 and 1 because I had a GI stop in the middle 5:35, 5:15) cool down was odd as my feet were numb. When I took my sock off, I had killed my big toenail on my right foot. I hope it doesn't affect my race. Still waiting to get full feeling in my toes.

Nice work Dave. You hung tough and got a great workout in despite just awful conditions.

Now you really need to start ramping down for Saturday. No more double digit mileage days.

I like that workout! I think I will do the same today and shoot for half marathon pace. Do you feel that this workout is to taxing on the body and might effect this weekend?

Honestly no, I felt really good today minus tge weather. My legs feel good today. Only issue i am having is my toe hurts a touch, but if I have to I can relieve the pressure under the nail. The rest was long enough so I felt recovered.
