AM: Easy progression run.  Soreness in chest is nearly gone.  Everything is feeling much better.

PM: Easy running mixing in some various 15 min progression runs down to around MP.  Chest is still bothersome when I have to bend over to pick up something or taking really deep breaths.  This injury is a bit of a puzzler.  I think the initial strain happened during some speed work and then I made it worse doing ab crunches on the physio ball.  It's on the surface and and feels like I was hit with a baseball.  Not sure why I'm telling you all this.....
