I can't really explain how this came about, other than my own stupidity. I know I've blogged about our business and slow times and my hiding the finance info from my husband/boss. He found out everything about a month ago, and though he was upset, he took it better than I thought.... at the time.
But the training and morning runs have gotten to him, and this morning my son woke up while I was out running, he woke up early and was bouncing off the walls and then peed and pooped a lot, DH had to clean him up and this man is one of those people who hate cleaning a poopy diaper first thing in the morning when he should still be asleep. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, my obsession with this has caused me to neglect him (husband), to neglect the house and neglect my obligations at work and in his opinion I've been neglecting my son.
This morning was rough, that is all I will say but it was decided I am not doing the 50 mile race, we are not going on vacation and I had to cancel the cabin/house reservation. I'm broken, I'm upset, mostly because I know I've been neglecting him and I am really hurt that he thinks I am neglecting my son. I've talked to others, I've discussed Dorian's delays and he is going to a school that specializes in kids with developmental delays, disorders and autism and down syndrome. They are the best in the area, and spoken very highly of, and he is coming along great and fantastically. So I am really hurt, but he has been saying that since Dorian's speech progress had suddenly just stopped when he was a year old.
And I think I am really hurt that my husband no longer supports my running, in fact he hates it. His patience and understanding had hit the limit last year, which is why I got into such a hurry to sign up for, train and participate in this 50 miler. I was scared I'd never get the chance ever again, and it looks like I will never get the chance.... unless there is one in our area and my husband never knows about it, but the only way I could train is when Dorian is old enough to sleep in, entertain himself and not wake Daddy up... and I have no idea when that day will come.
I just wanted to achieve something amazing, something nearly impossible before it became impossible to even train for it and do it. But it looks like it won't be happening, at least not any races.
As far as long runs go, with this heat wave I just won't be able to do anything really. I can barely push Dorian for 8 miles, the thought of trying to push him for 10-12 miles is just crazy.... especially in this heat.
Let's face it, I was lucky to have experienced 3 marathons, 2 of them being trail races. I was lucky to experience 12 half marathons and many other little races, those days just might be completely over............

MTE 50 Training Week Two
So I might have slacked this week as far as blogging goes, I will just have to put it all into one bloop. So this will be long.
This week started out tough, and I expected it to get tougher but thankfully it didn't. Tuesday morning, I wasn't able to get up and run because Dorian was in and out of sleep. But I was able to get in a 6 mile run that afternoon/evening, I went ahead and took Jetta with us. It was 82 degrees, 70% humidity but cloudy for the most part with 12 mph E winds so it wasn't awful. But I decided that if the temperature is above 85 degrees, Jetta won't be running with us unless it is cloudy, barely any humidity and some wind.
We ran the 6 miles in 58:42 with an average pace of 9:47 min/mile.
Laps/splits
Mile 1 - 9:53
Mile 2 - 10:08
Mile 3 - 9:17
Mile 4 - 9:33
Mile 5 - 9:51
Mile 6 - 9:36
Wednesday morning I was able to get up in the morning, it was 73 degrees, barely a breeze and 94% humidity. Jetta only ran a loop of 5 miles with me, it was just too humid for her to run another 5.1 miles.
I ran a total of 10.1 miles in 1:40:26 with an average pace of 9:57 min/mile, elevation gain of 240 feet.
Laps/splits
Mile 1 - 10:40
Mile 2 - 10:25

Mile 7 - 9:51
Mile 8 - 932
Mile 9 - 9:21
Mile 10 - 9:02
Thursday morning was 68 degrees, 94% humidity and 6 mph SW winds. Even though it was really humid, the dew point was around 62 or something and it wasn't too awful so Jetta went with me.
We ran 6.5 miles in 1:06:39 with an average pace of 10:15 min/mile and an elevation gain of 133 feet, I was feeling tired and my legs were already heavy.... how was I going to manage a 15 miler on Saturday??? And this hot and humid weather, it was just brutal!
Laps/splits
Mile 1- 10:44
Mile 2 - 10:27

A pic from Thursday's run.
Friday morning was almost tough, I wasn't able to get up until 5 AM and was out the door by 5:19 AM. It was 68 degrees and 83% humidity with 7 mph NNE winds so that wasn't too bad. Jetta and I ran 6.1 miles in 1:01:21 with average pace of 10:03 min/mile and an elevation gain of 113 feet. My legs weren't nearly as dead as Thursday but they were still tired.

Saturday...... yep it was Saturday morning, I didn't get a whole lot of sleep and was tired but I got up at 3:50 AM. It was 68 degrees and 83% humidity with a dew point of 62 and winds around 3 mph NNE. It wasn't awful, but I wasn't sure if Jetta would be up to it. I figured we'd do a loop or something and see how she was feeling at mile 7 or so.
She did really well, we stopped a lot so she could have a break and from mile 8 on there were water sources like lakes and swamps or whatever. We'd stop so she could get a drink, and had to deal with lots horseflies which were really annoying.
Jetta at the "swamp" lake type thing.
She and I were doing really well, it was getting tougher though once we got off this beautifully shaded gravel road (which just so happened to have the horseflies too). The sun was up and you could feel the heat, we stopped at a few other lakes and I gave her as many breaks in shady spots as I could find them. I was constantly checking her breathing and watching her with each stop and even during the run. She didn't lag behind or put tension on the leash, but was going at an easy trot.
At mile 12.7 we stopped at the last lake, the first 5 feet had some marshy plants and stuff, but Jetta started walking out and after a few steps her whole front half suddenly went under. She righted herself quickly but was so disoriented she started swimming further out, I was worried she'd get out there and suddenly become too exhausted to swim back and I'd have to jump in to save her. Luckily she quickly realized where she was and turned around and headed back to my voice. On the positive side.... she was cooled off.
We headed home, and finished 15 miles in 2:25:33 with an average pace of 9:42 min/mile and an elevation gain of 328 feet.

Sunday morning was a busy/crazy day, it was Father's Day and Dorian was up since 4 AM. I took him and Jetta for a quick run on the river front before my family's get-together. We ran 3.3 miles in 32:27 with an average pace of 9:50 min/mile.
Later that evening, since my niece was staying the night she came with me and the dogs to the trails. She rode her bike and I ran, we did 5.4 mile in 1:01:08 with an average pace of 11:19 min/mile. It was quite a bit slower because my 10 year old niece isn't very active.
I managed to get in 52.4 miles for week 2 of MTE 50 training. Hopefully I can get that or a little more this week. I'd like to reach an average of 60 for the final 2-3 weeks before my 2-3 week taper. Including this week that is about 9 more weeks I believe.
This week started out tough, and I expected it to get tougher but thankfully it didn't. Tuesday morning, I wasn't able to get up and run because Dorian was in and out of sleep. But I was able to get in a 6 mile run that afternoon/evening, I went ahead and took Jetta with us. It was 82 degrees, 70% humidity but cloudy for the most part with 12 mph E winds so it wasn't awful. But I decided that if the temperature is above 85 degrees, Jetta won't be running with us unless it is cloudy, barely any humidity and some wind.

MTE50 Training Week One - Part 2
So it seems that the first week of MTE50 has gone very well, even though I've one more day to the week.
Thursday I decided to cut one of the runs instead of doing a double, I ran 5 miles in the afternoon with Jetta and Dorian in the stroller. It was hot at 82 degrees and sunny, but I made sure that Jetta had plenty of water.
I finally managed to wear Dorian out Friday night so he fell asleep just fine and did make a peep all night. I barely woke up at 3:50 AM to my "The Rock" alarm, and believe me when I say that I didn't want to get out of bed.... but I did.
It was 68 degrees and 88% humidity, and within the first mile Jetta was letting me know that she wasn't going to be able to do the whole run as she was lagging behind already. So we ran a loop and finished at the house at 5 miles, I took her inside and put her in her crate with water and headed back out. It was very tempting to stay inside, but I had to get this done.
The rest of the run was humid, and hot and the sun was rising quickly. But I did run it considerably faster without Jetta, so that was good.
I ended up running 13.2 miles in 2:12:46 with an average pace of 10:03 min/mile, with an elevation gain of 282 feet.
Laps/splits:
Mile 1 - 11:10
Mile 2 - 10:44
Mile 3 - 10:31
Mile 4 - 10:24
Mile 5 - 10:14
Mile 6 - 10:16
Mile 7 - 10:03
Mile 8 - 9:32
Mile 9 - 9:44
Mile 10 - 9:35
Mile 11 - 9:45
Mile 12 - 9:26
Mile 13 - 9:27
13.2 - 9:18
So far that gives me 38.6 miles for the week and hopefully tomorrow's 7 miles will give me 45.6 miles for the first week of MTE50 training.

MTE50 Training Week One - Part 1
Alright, alright, alright.... So far things have started off real well.
First off, Monday was my rest day from running but I focused on some upper body strengthening and core/abdominal strengthening. And I also did some stair bounds - with the help of my little workout buddy
https://www.facebook.com/andrea.n.hadley/videos/vb.1631280978/10208368179715365/?type=3&theater
Hopefully you are able to view it, we've actually got 2 flights of stairs but couldn't record the 2nd flight so I didn't do that the second time around. Normally I do both flights of stairs, and he was doing them with me so I wanted to record it, so we only did the first flight.
Tuesday morning, I woke to my "The Rock" alarm clock, the Silverback sound at 3:45 AM. And I was ready to roll, Jetta and I were out the door by 4:10 AM. Temperature was 70 degrees and only 60% humidity, winds were around 6 mph WNW. We ended up running 6.3 miles out of a planned 5..... yep... But it was slow and easy, so I get points for sticking partially to the plan.
We ran it in 1:04:06 with an average pace of 10:11 min/mile, elevation gain was 105 feet.

Then later that evening ( 5:30 PM ) I took Dorian and Jetta down to the Evansville river front to run and meet up with Jumpstart which is the group I'll be getting in my double runs with on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We parked at the river and ran to meet them, I got in a mile and then ran 2.25 with the group and then got in another .9 miles to get back to the Tahoe. It gave us a total of 4.15 miles, finishing in 40:41 with an average pace of 9:48 min/mile. It was 77 degrees, sunny and windy at 9 mph NNW (that is windy when you consider pushing a stroller dang it).
I don't mess with my watch really during these runs unless we hit a corner where we're going to be waiting for longer than 30 seconds.

Mile 1 - 10:03

Wednesday morning I woke up to my Silverback alarm at 3:45 AM, a teeny bit sore but not bad. Jetta and I were out the door about the same time as Tuesday, it was 61 degrees, clear skies and not really humid (68%).
The not so humid and my already being tired was definitely noticeable as I stopped quite a bit. I think I was also feeling those stair bounds from Monday, in my glutes. It was a bit tiring and I am sure my body is trying to get used to this early, early morning up and at 'em routine again.
We ran 10 miles in 1:42:40 with an average pace of 10:16 min/mile, with elevation gain of 196 feet.

And So it Begins..... Training for the MTE50
This bloop will be titled "2016 Mark Twain Endurance 50 Training" with Week and what ever number it is. As of this weekend, the MTE50 is 15 weeks away.
It's crazy and mind-boggling to think that it was only 6 months ago that I was signing up for this adventure and thinking "it's so far away, I'm going to go crazy!"....... and now.... only 15 weeks.
The training will begin Tuesday, and hopefully one hell of an adventure. I got my a$$ kicked at the Harmonie Trail Marathon, but apparently it wasn't brutal enough because I was still able to get back to running by Tuesday.... I had 2 days of rest. So I told the race director that he needed to add a 3rd loop to next year, yeah.... I am sane in the head lol. I plan and hope to hit that loop at least 3-5 times during this training. I will try to hit that loop for a 15 miler, or a 3 hour run which will involve some extra trails towards the end. I will also hopefully run my 25 and 30 miler on there, which won't be exactly 25 or 30, the 25 miler will be 2 loops with a little extra trails towards the end and the 30 miler will be 3 loops which will end up being around 34 miles.
The big focus for this training will be "time on feet", I'll run as much as I can, when I can and walk or hike as much as I can.
I will try to keep my blog going, at least weekly until things get interesting, the LRs will probably have a blog all their own.
On another note, Dorian ran his first race Friday night - the Howl at the Moon Trail 5k and he finished just 7 seconds under an hour which was his fastest 5k so far. We came in last, but I'll let go of my pride and competitive side when it comes to making sure my little boy enjoys himself. We're registered for the Friday Night Fever Trail series, four races starting in July, then August, then September and ending in October. They start at 6 PM though, so at least 3 of those races will be in daylight. We'll see how he does as he gets more comfortable with the scene.
I am nervous and excited about this new adventure, and I really hope training goes well and I don't have too many hiccups or missed workouts.
It's crazy and mind-boggling to think that it was only 6 months ago that I was signing up for this adventure and thinking "it's so far away, I'm going to go crazy!"....... and now.... only 15 weeks.

I got my a$$ kicked at the Harmonie Trail Marathon, but apparently it wasn't brutal enough because I was still able to get back to running by Tuesday.... I had 2 days of rest. So I told the race director that he needed to add a 3rd loop to next year, yeah.... I am sane in the head lol. I plan and hope to hit that loop at least 3-5 times during this training. I will try to hit that loop for a 15 miler, or a 3 hour run which will involve some extra trails towards the end. I will also hopefully run my 25 and 30 miler on there, which won't be exactly 25 or 30, the 25 miler will be 2 loops with a little extra trails towards the end and the 30 miler will be 3 loops which will end up being around 34 miles.
The big focus for this training will be "time on feet", I'll run as much as I can, when I can and walk or hike as much as I can.
I will try to keep my blog going, at least weekly until things get interesting, the LRs will probably have a blog all their own.
On another note, Dorian ran his first race Friday night - the Howl at the Moon Trail 5k and he finished just 7 seconds under an hour which was his fastest 5k so far. We came in last, but I'll let go of my pride and competitive side when it comes to making sure my little boy enjoys himself. We're registered for the Friday Night Fever Trail series, four races starting in July, then August, then September and ending in October. They start at 6 PM though, so at least 3 of those races will be in daylight. We'll see how he does as he gets more comfortable with the scene.
I am nervous and excited about this new adventure, and I really hope training goes well and I don't have too many hiccups or missed workouts.
