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

But isn't the bottom half concealed by 14 lbs of ice floating on the water?

If I balance sitting there longer and trying to have a conversation with anyone, especially law enforcement personnel versus getting up and hiding behind anything, I'm going to go with the coochie flashing option. Better that than struggling with a now-wet sweatshirt.

Don't get me wrong -- the ice baths are horrible. It's just that they're also worth it.

To be fair, there were swimsuits involved, as the ice bath was shared with another crazy runner type.

Annoy a conservative, buy American Girl dolls and products.

NEW YORK - American Girl, manufacturer of a highly popular line of dolls and children's books, has become the target of conservative activists threatening a boycott unless the toy maker cuts off contributions to a youth organization that supports abortion rights and acceptance of lesbians.

Suddenly, the creepy dolls with better clothes and furniture than me don't seem like such a terrible thing.

Ice bath after marathon/kicking people in head = keeps parts from swelling, and thus, prevents pain that would have been caused by swelling? I'm thinking it has to be, right? The way you ice a sprain?

Yeah, but not just in an avoiding injury way -- the normal post-blast workout stiffness is greatly reduced.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I am right now haunting the lush site. I want to go and get a couple of bubble bars and maybe a bath bomb and have a weekend of soaking.
