Thighs Burning

[~*Regina*~]

I joined a softball team for the Spring/Summer this year to help myself become more active. Of course I think I overdid it on Sunday and ran alot now my upper thighs are KILLING me. What can I do to make them feel better? I didn't walk today like I normally would hoping the pain will go away. Any suggestions?
Thank you

stretching will help and unless it's a pain that's telling you something's wrong -- rather than jut over use -keep moving..

next time -stretch before softball and stretch afterwards

When I run I get pain, too. I am 10 lbs heavier than you, and speaking my experience - running with the weight we have on our bodies can lead to an extra ton of soreness and pain afterward! Make friends with a hot water bottle or heating pad, and ice the sore spots sometimes, too. Like Maleficent said, stretch really well before and after.

Best of luck to you! So glad you joined a team! It'll be great exercise and fun!!!
