Ice baths, oatmeal, and irritable quads....

d a slow 4 mile run (my hamstring has been bothering me lately) on the treadmill. Hamstring was great, I was pretty ecstatic. Then however I had my strength training with the trainer and seemed to have pissed off my quad muscle.

Hoping it's nothing an ice bath and a few days of icing won't fix. I'm actually hopeful because it seems like lately my pain comes and goes in random parts of my legs but it's not the kind of pain I had in my shins when I first started all this running stuff that just built and built until it was shooting pain. This seems to come AND go.... which is nice. I'd rather it JUST go but whatever.

Run Recap:
4 miles - 40:25 (10:06 pace) on treadmill @ 1% incline

Fun pictures....

  3. Oh man, ice baths. Urghghh, I am shuddering just thinking about them. It definitely isn't warm enough here to contemplate getting into a tub of frozen stuff. That said, I'm glad you're good about taking care of yourself!
