After nearly two weeks of rest, icing, and massage, during which time I was able to continue with CrossFit and O-lift workouts, I gave my legs their first running test today in a 1-3-1 workout of one mile at &#8220;easy&#8221; pace, three miles at &#8220;mid tempo&#8221; and one final mile at the easy pace again. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapmyrun.com\/edit_route?r=988835270492\">Jeff planned a course for us<\/a> that went from the middle school, around Arcadia County Park, and back to the middle school.<\/p>\n<p>My targeted time for the mid-tempo part was 21:30.
