Lots of stretching, lots of icing. Trust me, you DON'T want to pull your hamstring. I pulled mine really badly over a year ago, and since then i've been plagued with hamstring injuries/pulls in both legs now.

don't ice it actually. try some glute/hip flexor stretches. stiffness in these can result in stiffness in the hammies and can cause you to not be able to get a full ROM in the hammies thus you need to stretch em!
NEW GOAL(s):
Regain my strength.
Put on 5 lbs of muscle.
Gain better overall fitness (strength, endurance, muscle)
