I ran 17 miles!!! Ice Pack remedy....

I have been really dreading having to run this far because the farthest I have ever ran was 14 miles and well lets just say I thought I was going to diiieeee!! ahahaha! Which obviously would make me a little nervous. I ment to only run 16 miles but I was feeling so good I thought I would take another mile. I am really loving this running thing, but my knees where killing me towards the end so I iced them.
This is a picture I took here in Idaho. Some people ask me how I can possibly run 17  miles by myself, well here is the reason. Look at how beautiful this place is!! I just love it. Makes you wonder if God is an artist??

PERFECT ICE PACK RECIPE!!
This is the easiest, cheapest and best ice pack you can possibly make!
You will need...

Rubbing Alcohol and  H2O(water)
And you will need 2 gallon size ziplock bags. You can really use any brand and it doesn't have to be the freezer type, any gallon size works wonders :) 
Once you have all your supplies you are going to put a cup of rubbing alcohol and 3 cups of water into a  ziplock bag, then put another ziplock bag over that so that you can have extra protection. Place on a flat surface in your freezer for a couple of hours and BAMMM! just like that you have super cold but flexible ice packs.

WARNING!!!!! If you apply directly you may get an Ice pack burn, its happen to me. If you are a dummy like myself just put aloe vera on it and it will make it feel kind of better.
