mobility work 20-30 min

10 mins active recovery on airdyne then 30 mins mobility, mostly hips 

I warmed up well but at the end of my warm up I usually do some HS holds and a couple HS walks.  I couldn’t even kick up because it just didn’t feel safe to do anything dynamic with as tight as my hamstrings were and how sketchy my hips felt.  Back squats felt okay at 125, heavier than it should but fine.  So I did 145.   But then I peed a little on the first rep of 145!  That has never happened and I was not impressed.  I guess maybe my nervous system is fried.  I finished the squats and called it good.  Rode the bike for 10 mins to be good and warm to mobilize.  Really worked on my hips, glutes, hami’s.  Hip discomfort feels like what I imagine a 90 year old grandma’s arthritis feels like.  Other than tight hami’s most of my discomfort is hip joint pain, not muscle soreness, worse on the right as usual.  The same pain that eventually escalated and involved my low back and convinced me to quit running marathons.  This is not near that level, just a hint.  Taking a nap, pool time and then some stand up paddle boarding at the river later.  Should be back on track tomorrow, injury free.  Today just felt like a risk to push it.  Thanks!
