Don't worry, it's not a R.I.C.E or death situation...or is it?

Life

Hey guys,

It can happen to any of us. You do something you enjoy and then, BAM!, you get injured.

Not to sugarcoat my situation and not to get TOO specific, I sustained an injury (around the groin area) due to some serious running/jumping sessions the other day. I think I was not warmed up enough before proceeding and since there isn't pain, just swelling, I'm keeping an eye on it and taking care of it. A little worry does linger but I'm gonna give it mostly bed rest and R.I.C.E for the first 48 hours and then see what happens...

Remember RICE?

R.I.C.E. -- Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.

R.I.C.E. can limit swelling and protect the injured tissue, relieve aches and speed recovery or healing...

If the swelling and sorness doesn't subside withing a week to 10 days, I'll head out to see a doc. Right now, I am just taking Ibuprofen and giving myself self-care.

I give you guys an update on my recovery. Stay focused on your goals!

Remember, make it a great day, it doesn't happen by itself...
