Well I guess this is what I get for getting injured. Coach Matt came in tonight to ask how I was doing. I told him about my achilles injuries and my methods for getting healthy, and he wasn't hearing it at all. I was to "grab that bucket there" and "he was going to get a big bag of ice". He was gone for 5 minutes and then returned with the bi

No dice.He pushed my leg knee down so my entire foot was in the bucket of ice. Quickly I was in pain. "Farley, do you want to be a good runner or not? Your foot has to be numb for it to work!"
Coach Matt had me in that damn ice bath for 18 minutes, and you know what. My achilles actually feels a little better.
