Finally back on track (literally). I when to the High School Track and did the first Interval Workout since February. I was a little concerned that my speed might have suffered with not doing any real speed work for so long but after the first interval I realized I was going to be okay.
All the quarter splits were very even (within 1 second) on the first five but on the last one I was getting tired on the first quarter and had to kick it a little at the end to hit my pace goal (the split was 4 seconds different).
This week is going to be short for me as I am leaving for El Salvador on Friday. I’ll have to miss four days of running and pick it back up next Tuesday. This is probably good as I have run averaged 50 miles for the last 9 weeks. It’s probably good to take an easy week.
I got the following message from the BBA so I assume I am entered in Boston!
“This is to notify you that your entry into the 118th Boston Marathon on Monday, April 21, 2014 has been accepted, provided that the information you submitted is accurate.”
Here’s my run data:

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
