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.
