Anyone had issues with tingling/numb fingers? I usually get it in my toes ( only the right one) and thought it was from being cold outside. Today was gorgeous and my right toes still did it and my right hand joined in too!! Very strange!! Now I'm laying down with an icepack on my knee - my very first running injury : (

Hope it recovers quickly!! Things to do places to see, roads to run ; )

I has the same thing on my last half marathon. My nutruitionist said it was likely because of insufficient carbs, low Iron and low magnesium. We made some adjustments in my diet and supplements. I haven't experienced it since. Congratulations by the way!

Thanks mass!! I'm extra proud of this one. Not only because I beat my first by almost 15 min, (1st=3:09:56 to 2nd=2:55:03) but because I couldn't train very well at all. I just started a new job ( managing my own bakery- which means loads of over time) and my elderly parents finally decided they needed to move (finally) so I've been spending the last month de cluttering their home. My next one is end of June so I'm hoping for 2:45:00.

On to your answer- I really carbed up so I'm not sure that's the issue, but maybe the Iron and magnesium. Did you just do supplements for that?

Yep, I just added supplements for that.
