Ice, Ice Baby

So I've decided to try to take some action on getting the soreness in my right, lower, inner thigh to go away. It's been a few weeks since the pain started, and I think I've got a program to get it to stop. The program consists of icing the sore muscle after exercise and to stay off it for running for a few weeks. I'm getting a pretty good workout on the elliptical (600 calories cooked in 45 minutes) and keeping off the leg during strength training.

I got turned on to the application of ice by our tennis hitting partner yesterday. After we finished playing a somewhat vigorous 90 minutes of doubles, Bobby saw me rubbing my adductor longus and offered me a bag of ice. I applied the bag of ice for about 30 minutes and, bam! the pain subsided. It felt pretty good all afternoon, so I'm sold. Let's see how things go today as I've been applying an ice pack for the past hour and I'm about to go out and see how it holds up.
