<p>4.5 miles, longest I've done since... I don't now when.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At about 4 miles I started going numb in the fingers, and it wasn't because of cold, Calgary is unseasonably warm this September.  So I packed it in. Feel a bit bagged at the moment and am losing my voice (!) not good for tonight's show.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>500+ ft elevation gain/loss.  Fastest mile was on the order of a 9:32, slowest was 10:02. </p>

<p>Numb fingers?  Packing it in sounds like a good idea. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I could use this too. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today, just worked on the bowflex for about 45 minutes. Working on some core stuff as well as upper body.   </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tomorrow will probably be a running day. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Grizzly, Hope your voice comes back before your show tonight! </p>

<p>Methinks I'm coming down with something.  It's 30 degrees today!  86f.  Unheard of.  We haven't had a frost yet...  but I thik I have a cold.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was speaking with the missus about the numb fingers.  I've been running about 5 km 2-3 times a week with no problems.  I can't recall what starting running was like for me, but I wonder if it's just "pushing the envelope" and my body's way of saying, "enough".  I somehow doubt that.  The ischemic stuff after races is heart related, so I have to assume that even though I can slog 10 miles with a pack on my back with no problems, running is a bit of different beast.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will keep testing my boundaries though.</p>

<p>Could the numb fingers be <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/raynauds-disease/DS00433/DSECTION=symptoms" target="_blank">Raynaud's</a> Grizz?</p>

<p>Darnit... can't find the pic of my hands during a flare or I'd show you. hmmph.</p>

<p>Hmm.  If so it's not full-blown.  But fingers do go cold and numb.  Eeenteresting.  Thanks.</p>

[Grizzly]

<p>Nope.</p>
