That Girl Runs

Have you ever been in a yoga class where no one has expelled toxic fumes loudly?

Or where an older gentlemen or lady has not showed up in baggy shorts only to present their junk to the world?

Me neither!

Now, I am certainly not of the prudish kind but when it comes to my ujjayi breathing the last thing I want to breathe in through my nose is the gas flowing freely from someone’s orifice  and the unobstructed view into some stranger’s nether region certainly does nothing for my vinyasa flow. 

Or maybe I should just concentrate more on perfecting the Scorpion by going more inward…

Oh well, there is always next week!

Today’s Running Tip: Take Yoga!

Yoga is a wonderful cross training for running as it realigns the body and releases tension from connective tissue. The musculoskeletal realignment comes from stretching and an emphasis on proper posture.

As a result you gain more flexibility (misaligned muscles are stiffer and less efficient) and reduce your risk for injury . In addition the continuously striking of poses that resemble leg lunges, squats, pushups, handstands, and the like strengthen your muscles and after 30 minutes of these movements, you know you’ve gone through a total-body strength workout. And better overall strength can only help your running. ~ Source: Runner’s World
