Haha...nicely done, Marcus. Your legs will be thanking me tomorrow, for sure. I hope so anyway, because, I actually believe you are capable of killing me.
On the bright side, it gets easier to do. I do ice baths all the time. Just gotta HTFU and do it. I took one tonight as well. 28 lbs of ice in a tub full of cold water...fantastic.
By the way, how hilarious did your wife find the ordeal? I assume she took the photos?

| The boys can take it after awhile. The Feet! What about the feet? That is the worse. IMHO. |

Yes, the feet sucked. That was by far the worst part of it.
And the book is lovely so far. You were correct, reading was a nice distraction.
Wife just thought I was stupid, per usual.
She asked "who told you to do this?
"Jake"
"So if Jake told you to jump off a cliff would you do that too?"
"If it made my marathon time faster, hell yes!"  |

You know...if you found a 26.2 mile cliff...you'd have a helluva marathon time. I'd give it a go...let us know how it pans out.  |

| The ice bath was a twice daily ritual during college. I had it easy though--my room/teammate had titanium pins in his ankle--those'll really wake you up when they get cold. |

You'll feel good tomorrow. I have been doing them every now and then after long runs and I am pretty sure they have helped. Or at least they make me think they are helping. They get easier. I definitely feel crippled for a good 30 min to an hour afterwards too.
I can't handle the feet, so I put socks on my toes/arch and try and keep my toes out of the water a bit. Even if the socks get wet I think they stay a little warmer. |
