Ok, I modified it some. Only rinsed my hair out with the cold water, and only for about 45 seconds. Crazy backwards brain freeze!
Yes, very invigorating!!

In lieu of the cold showers I'd be willing to run a marathon with Gimlan. In fact, last March I ran a half marathon and it was only 25F out and last September I ran another one in the cold rain. That should count for something.

How long you stand in the shower is up to you.  Standing in the shower isn't for your husband or anybody else.  it's for you.  No matter how you do it, we're here to supportt you.

Elray, hehe. This "stand" pun cracked me up.

I am so sorry I decided to click on this thread!!!!

I have been sitting here thinking of so many excuses why I shouldn't do this ;D

Even got some really good medical ones like "Maybe I'll have a heart attack"

As I'm typing, I'm STILL coming up with "how to get out of this ideas"  I know I have to but I'm cold just thinking about it - BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Alright, I'm in.  Day I tomorrow.  I even procrastinated over this one because I came up with the "I need warm water to wash my hair" excuse ;) ;)

If I die, it will be your fault Elray for watching that TED talk and if I survive and get some great ideas, I will thank you too 8)

I hope you ache in regret as the truth hits you like a bullet and you find yourself replying: ""She loved me more than anyone else in the entire world and I tried to destroy her."  He failed by the way.

Welcome SV -- day 4 here was better -- mainly because I forgot all about the challenge.  Out of habit, I switched the water to hot.  And stepped in.  I immediately sensed something was wrong. 

Then sadly cut over to ice cold. 

BTW -- my 17 year old measured, and our house is "blessed" with extremely cold cold water -- temp was measured at 47F.

The other part that made it better -- I stepped in without setting the timer -- so I did my normal routine of dancing around between the rain drops, and probably didn't make a full 5 minutes.  Maybe I did -- maybe I didn't.  nobody can prove nothing!

Lastly, I wanted to warn y'all.  I discovered sabotage today!  My W has been setting the shower head to "jet mode" -- not a shower at all -- just three jets on high.  This is like getting hit with ICECICLE lasers.  It literally cuts through your skin like a light sabre, but without the fun special effect noises.  Yesterday, I noticed this, and returned the setting to a normal gentle rain setting.  I thought it was a freak accident.  This morning, it was back to JETS. 

So I realized after a brief conversation that she believes I'm insane and is trying to "break" me for my own good.  Pffft!   I will soldier on, more determined than ever.  But I'm still waiting for it to get easier.  And I still can't breathe all the way under -- DJ -- don't know how you're doing it!

BTW -- Savoir Faire -- your brain will trick you into thinking you are going to die -- especially the first day.  Survival, the first day, seems at risk.  Its just a mind trick...you'll make it.  And if you research it, you will find that warm water to wash your hair is apparently wrong -- the research indicates cold or cool water is much better for your hair and skin.  So expect glowing skin and glossy flowing locks as an upside.

Glowing skin and glossy licks are great but I challenge everyone to try and shave one part of themselves with soap and cold water.................

Kia kaha - stay strong
