How to make your own Gel/Ice Pack

Sunday afternoon I took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed out for my long run of the week, 8 miles.  The run felt great, the weather was awesome, I felt like I could have kept going after 8 miles.  I called it a day, got home, pulled off my shoes, and noticed the ball of my foot SWELLING up.  By the next morning my toes couldn't touch the ground because the balls of my feet had swelled up so badly.  I went to work Monday morning with ziplock bags full of ice and watched them melt and leak all over the office.  Thats when I decided to do some research on how to make my own cold gel pack.
