My box of books from London has arrived! Hurrah!

I have a cold. Boo!

It seems mild. Phew!

We are considering Pilates, is this wise?

She Stoops to Conquer is more amusing than I remembered. *Covets the fashions*

Pilates done properly is a grand thing - but you do need to make sure your instructor is good. I've done a class every week for a year now, and am finding it counteracts some of the damage I do to myself from sitting at the computer all day. It doesn't replace aerobic exercise - you won't get fit - but you will be more flexible and have better core strength.

She has just moved to a bigger studio, even though she's the most expensive one in the area (but also the most 'Pilates-ey' one) and my massage chap recced her, so the signs are positive.

That counteracting is exactly what I need. Have the fitness under control with walking, and am looking to go back to swimming and horseriding soon, too. Then we'll see if running is an option.
