Yoga Larry

The fitness director at the Y shouts to me in the pool "I hear you are taking yoga!"

No, I am not Yoga Larry.  I am QCRunner.  The nice lady sports chiro calls me something else, the nice lady spin instructor yet another thing.   Fortunately good things.

QCRunner thinks he might become a better runner if he becomes a bit more flexible.  My new (to me) road bike has seat higher than handle bars.  Hmmm.

The last few weeks, the dear wife and I have been going with Leadville Pacer Scott and his wife Beth on Monday nights to 90 plus minutes of sheer fun.

I am hugely inflexible.  Was the kid picked last in gym class. I would rather run tens of miles than try "down dog" or "warrior 2."  But I sorta feel that increasing flexibility and stretching is gonna improve the run and bike. It's a bet made by some of the better ultra runners.

So Yoga Larry, I am drinking your Koolaid.
