Eric L. and I found a new trail two days ago. It's on a hillside.
Long story short, I did a lot more climbing than usual.
My thighs, (from knee to hip) are very sore.
No other muscles are sore enough to mention.
The thighs are so sore I have trouble walking and such.
I have tried various solutions with no effect:
1. I tried stretching the thighs (even laying with my feet under my
butt). Got stuck there 🙄
2. I tried using a hammer to bruise the muscle, but could not do it as
long as usual. In the past that worked well.
3. I tried lightly punching the muscle for 15 minutes.
4. I tried using a massage machine (that vibrates) for an hour
5. I tried Icy Hot
6. I tried using a hot pack
I did all of this on the left thigh (to see if it would get better
faster than the right). It did NOT.
I'm guessing that guys like AspenMike have solutions for leg soreness
(aside from "don't overdo it). The soreness was cool and funny at first,
but it looks like I'm going into a 3rd day with this pain. It's getting
to be "unfashionable."
I need to heal so I can get back to that trail . . .
