OMG, For funny. Your legs make me hubba, hubba. You should video tape next time. You will be famous on youtube.
DW wanted to video tape it. I declined. Pics were enough. And no permanent shrinkage problems. Everything was good to go an hour later.
Did you tape that?

After Action Report: There is an improvement, I have to admit it. I forced myself to run very slowly this morning just to test the water. This morning's run was the first I have had since Saturday where my legs were not screaming when I finished. Also, the right knee was my biggest complaint yesterday, especially going downhill. It appears to be fine this morning. My wife was not laughing, at least out loud. She was not in a great mood after a crap day at work, so she just stood there shaking her head in disbelief. She thinks I am crazy and I can't refute that opinion. Sitting in ice water for 15 minutes while reading a book is not normal I think the first 5-10 minutes after I got out was as bad or worse then sitting in there. Ice bath Polio is no fun. And there were more pictures where my facial expressions were more pronounced and uglier. But I will only humiliate myself for the entertainment of the group so much.
Sack up and run.
By the way...my ice bath from yesterday looked much less painful, and much more business like. I calmly perused my issue of The Sporting News...and waited til my 15 minutes was up.
Kiss my grits.

My husband will actually help me get the bath ready and then sit around watching me get in laughing his butt off. Lovely guy huh? I don't go buy ice though. Our ice maker in the freezer has a button that I push before I go for a long run that puts the ice maker in overtime so the bucket is full by the time I get home to empty it in the tub. Nice picture though. It sure brings back memories!
