PM: 5 miles on the treadmill, averaged 8:08. HR 137. 

I was going to get out on the bike, but we had to rush our cat, Oliver to the emergency vet this morning. We ended up having to put him down. I got him in August 2010 (before I joined the blog even!) when I lived in Indiana. It was tough, but he went downhill really fast. Stopped eating for several days and his bloodwork was awful. He was the cat that really showed Megan what a great pet a cat can be. 

I wasn't sure if the boys would have school as the power went out (again), but they kept them there, and the power came back on within a short time, so it was a bit of a chaotic morning. I had meeting with students off and on throughout the day, which was actually welcome.

10k Tempo in 40:38

Good one today. I was going to do mile repeats around 10k effort, but kind of wanted something continuous to practice half marathon pacing and effort. This worked beautifully. Definitely the longest I have run at half-marathon effort other than in a race for some time. I kept a bit of an eye on the power, but mostly ran by feel. 6:32 average pace, 368 watts average power, and 164 BPM: 6:39, 6:37, 6:35, 6:31, 6:31, 6:25

PM: 4.4 miles, averaged 10:10. HR 120.

PM: 2 hours 41'. 48.8 miles @ 18.5 MPH. 217W. HR 138.

1 Hour of Power + Segment Attack

260 watts @ 151 HR for the hour and got the KOM by 1 second. Felt pretty good. One hour pacing is tough. Not 100% effort, but maybe 85-90ish. I will try to repeat next week and go a bit longer to retrain my durability.
