Morning run outdoors 7 miles averaging 10:09 pace and 114 bpm.  Injury feels better but still there so going slower for next several weeks.

Morning run outside 6 mi easy pace.  Injury still there but definitely on the down hill.  Focused on losing 20-30 lbs first before thinking about pace or speed work.

Strength training for 1 hour after work.  Traditional barbell movements.

Morning run outside for 6 miles.  Did a handful of 1 min pickups on the way back to break it up.  Injury feels nearly gone.
