a.m. 15' OS Resets, 15' Ido Portal Squat Mobility routine = 30'

note: I had a much more ambitious session scheduled this morning, but decided to deal with some residual tightness instead. The goal is to move gracefully through time and space, and with Dan John's words ringing through my head (Keep the goal the goal), I decided that working on some mobility would serve me better long term than gutting through some sloppy reps. I will check in this afternoon one of the following: (a) strength session, (b) more mobility, (c) skill /flow work, or (d) conditioning.

p.m. 45' at climbing gym (10' Warm up [wrists, hands, hips], 30' on the wall, 5' hanging work at the end.)
