Undeterred by going out early not working out yesterday, I went out even earlier this morning. Can't say it was great, but this time early back stiffness eased after the first few minutes.

First time I've done pilates after a run (necessitated by the change of day this week). The plus was that I was already well warmed up (sometimes it takes me the first few sets to loosen up properly), the minus was that it took a few sets before the sweat stopped being a nuisance. Not too bad as a session, except for the one bit that relied on my left shoulder (still a bit sore after an injection yesterday).

You learn something new every day: the expression "Blind Freddy" comes from the exploits of Sir Frederick Pottinger, a British aristocrat who led the police force which attempted (conspicuously unsuccessfully) to track down Ben Hall and his bushranging gang in 1860s New South Wales.
