    It's like jumping in freezing cold water, right? I've jumped in freezing cold water. It made me feel alive and well......pretty cold.

    I have some friends who do that around here every year on New Years Day. Its called the 'Polar Bear Plunge' or something like that.... I've never done it, nor will I. I think they're nuckin' futs but that's just me. I'm sure its not too bad... I just like to be warm :)

    Mostly I am scared to get sick... My birthday is right after that and I don't want to have the flu or anything. Guess we'll see! Thanks!

    I did my first on New Year's Day 2012. Avatar has proof, seaweed and all. I tend toward asthma and hate being cold. I didn't think I could but I used all the things I've learned in training and it worked. Private message me if you want the gory details of how to prepare for one so that it can be rewarding rather than punishing your body.
