Edit: 21:40
My bad left shoulder is getting pretty aggravated by the floor press-ups and/or reverse flies, I think. For the past couple of weeks it's been pretty achy/sore afterwards and this evening I've needed to ice it to relieve the pain. I may well take painkillers before bed. At some stage soon I'm going to have to get this shoulder looked at again. Very frustrating.

Tired through the afternoon with mild lower back ache. Rallied by this evening but looking forward to bed!
