Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I could deal with the pain the next day better than an ice bath.

It's not that bad, really.

Okay, it is that bad. But it is worth it, I swear. And, once you're out you're amazingly warm.

Think of it as an opportunity to refine your profanity.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Jesse! That sounds very exciting!!!

And, go, lisah, with the 1/2 marathon!

You'd think, but she and her other marathoning friends swore by the ice bath. Also swore AT the ice bath.

t eta HAR! Swearing x-post!

What is even happening?

Oh, man. I don't know. That's just atrocious sounding. I'm in pain thinking about it.

Your tag here.

1/2 marathon...a cake walk

I can't imagine what it would be like to say running 13 miles is a cake walk. I've walked five miles and that was plenty!

Punishingly Intricate

Think of it as an opportunity to refine your profanity.

but...but...I'm already a REALLY good swearer.

So maybe ice bath...swearing a lot...drain the bath and then hot bath? Would that negate the ice bathing?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How does one do an ice bath? Do you find a gym that has one, or just have your spouse buy lots of ice and fill up the bathtub at home?

brillig

But I'm really curious as to who owns Box 1300 that they're so anxious to keep their applicants' CVs away from.

Al Quaeda?

har. actually, box 1300 is the address that you write to if you have "intelligence to report"

I wonder if that Post Office has a special truck that delivers that mail or if MI6 just sends a junior clerk over every morning. "All right, Smithers, time to go get the mail." "But, sir, you know what happened last time!" "Smithers, sultry counter-agents who whisper tantalizing offers is a standard obstacle that every agent of MI6 just has to learn to deal with! Now go! And bring me back a double latte."

It doesn't hurt. There are, I'm sure, no bigger cold wimps than me on the board. I don't know if I've ever voluntarily taken a not-hot shower. I certainly haven't taken a cold shower since the concussion in Marrakech in 1990.

I'll be taking ice baths during the last four days of my brown belt. Sulky, curse-filled ice baths, but I'll be in them.

The second, Jessica. Kat and her Team-in-Training friends had to raid the kitchen at the hotel they were staying at, after they ran all the ice machines empty.
