Notes - Writing this on Tuesday.  Great training session.  Best in some time.  I have been working the scap mobility on the left shoulder a lot, it is really helping that and alleviating the left hip as well.  It's definitely connected.  Also got a massage on Sunday in Priest Lake and generally did a lot of relaxing for 3 days.  Feeling better going into the wedding on Saturday the 15th!

Notes - Getting around to writing this on Tuesday 9/11.  Good training sessions.  Things are turning around primarily because I have been working on scapular mobility my Left shoulder.  It's the key.  My left shoulder has been raised up and not on point for some time.  I got some exercises out of my Pain Free book by Pete Escogue, including facing the wall and putting the arms overhead, thumbs out, and moving down the wall to 90 degrees eventually.  I can barely get my thumbs and arms to rotate externally, but I am noticing improvements.  I think this is the result of all of the kettlebell training over time, which tends to internally rotate the shoulder (presses overhead for example where you finish with the hand facing forward, snatches, same thing).  Need to discuss this with Kevin but I need to do some more intentional work for external rotation for my arms and shoulders.  If I can do this and improve the left shoulder scapular mobility in particular, it's going to pay big dividends.
