Trial Run of the Jelly Bellys and the Ice Bath

Our peak mileage run before the marathon - 3 weeks to go! We tried out the power jelly bellys and were all huge fans. I also did an ice bath once I got back home. One thing I would recommend is being ready for the shock and being prepared to pass out. As I was easing myself into the bath tub filled w/ cold water and ice I seriously felt my body being like, "what is going on here? We might shut all power down and you will pass out." Then I was having images of Nicole wondering what is taking so long and finding me frozen and drowned in the bathtub. Didn't happen, but it COULD have!

So I figured the true benefits of the ice bath would only be felt by Monday morning and I may just be trying to justify the tough experience I had yesterday, but I think I feel better today as compared to after the last "20" mile run sans ice bath.
