Just wondering if anyone has any great ideas of what to do in the pool to rehab my slightly injured hamstring. It's one of those great little injuries that attacked me out of the blue (as in 13.5 miles into a 22 mile training run). I was nervous about going to the pool at first because the motion for pushing off the wall seemed to be when it was hurting. I did the RICE thing, and have been doing the elliptical at the gym without any problems. Now that it only bothers me when I run, I think I can safely get in the pool.
My thought was that some kicking sets on my back might be good, but thought others might have some thoughts. Should I (gasp, please forgive me) do some pool running or treading water?
Thanks.

You're going to need a noodle, and a flotation belt. Oh, also one of those caps with a chin strap and patterned with some colored flowers. :thhbbb:
:rofl::rofl:
If I thought wearing one of these lovely caps would actually speed up my recovery, I'd have it sent overnight. Patience is not one of my virtues!
