My journey to lose weight: Thigh tightness, Running

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Yesterday I went for a 6.5 mile run and today my thigh is really tight. Any suggestions on what to do for it?

Katie said...: Slam it repeatedly.

Cut it off.

Try an Advil and some stretching. And, I second not running until it feels better.; July 7, 2009 at 2:24 PM
Rebecca said...: Warm up then do lots of long stretching. Stay in the stretches for quite a long time. But make sure to do a five or ten minute warm up first. Stretching cold muscles=ouch!

Great job on the run!; July 8, 2009 at 7:30 AM
