18.8k 1:39:17 HR Avg 143 Max 153 Avg Pace 5:16
Course: Work to Goodwill Bridge and Back.
Start Time: 5:50 pm Temp 26C.
Session Type: Sub 72%MxHR Easy Run

Today was my lunch time Pilates class. After last week the DOMs really set in on the Friday and lasted till Sunday. Hopefully it won't be as bad after this session.

Tonight was my mid-week longer run to the Goodwill Bridge. Not quite as hot as last night but a bit more humid. Plan was to take it easy, so it wouldn't be as taxing as last night's run was. Felt like I was cruising pretty nicely all the way. Was a bit disappointed to find my time of 1:39:17 at HR 143 was slower than last week by a minute and a half but also done at at higher HR compared to the HR 137 last week. Guess the humidity saps you more than you think.

The good news is I have a new MPB (Monthly PB). 346.1K for February which beats last month's 341K. Not a bad effort for a short month. With more of a focus on lifting the pace in March, I suspect it is safe for a few months.

For those who followed the MPB link, there is a tenuous connection. I have a superb compilation album on my music player called Tropicalia which features Brazilian artists from this period in the late 60s and I have been listening to it a lot over the last month. Imagine Sgt Peppers with a bossa nova backing and you get the picture.
