AM - 3 easy miles before work.  

PM - 7 more on the treadmill at lunchtime.  Wore the HM monitor for the first time in a while.  Somewhat pleased.  Able to run within a reasonable degree of a decent pace and still be at 70% HRR -- at least for about 4-5 miles.  Perhaps cardiac drift or faulty device, but it crept up a bit over the last 3 miles, even though the perceived effort seemed unchanged --- Anyway I decreased the pace and the HR decreased.  

Also finally got my blood labs back - and was irritated that ferritn was not in the panel that I specifically requested.  But all of my other values improved.  Iron, (113 up from 75 ), HGB (14.5 up from 13.7) RBC (4.75 up from 4.4)  and HCT (43.8 up from 40.0).

So - no pain or injuries or illness.  Feel like I have a decent base to start mixing in some workouts - although my mileage has been a bit light - that is more related to cautiousness with the injury recovery than anything else.
