28.23 K in the rain

LSD this morning -- woke up at 11:30 AM (!) -- don't ask...must be exhausted from work??? Anyways, it rained throughout the run and stopped in the final 30 minutes. Soaked and cold. Wore a toque to keep the head dry and warm. Mistake -- should have worn mittens -- right hand was numb. Was trembling when got home -- difficult to get out of the wet clothes. Hope I don't get a cold from all this. So this is what is meant by building character? Anyways, great run north on Yonge Street until York Mills Rd and then south, east on Bloor and then back home. Wanted to run up Hoggs Hollow -- no issues! Could feel the left foot with 1.5 hours left but got through the run without pain. The left foot did accidently step in a pothole (aargh!!!). 28.23 K run. Next week, I'll up it to 32 K (maximum mileage). 4 weeks until the Toronto Marathon! Just applied droplets to the left foot.
YTD = 461.7 K
