I previously wrote of a fellow running club member who dressed like and mimicked his idol, Steve Prefontaine, unknowingly channeling Pre’s talent.
Cassandra Mooter stretching before a run
Now, another major talent has risen. Cassandra Mooter stretches and does enigmatic poses before Flying Irish runs. At first a solitary exerciser, she attracted followers and now leads a group of several dozen before each run. I like to watch because faint streaks of light shoot from her, and a halo-like shine outlines her body. Sometimes a colorful, ethereal rainbow forms over her head, causing a quick shower that drenches her. I think it’s funny when that happens.
I resisted joining her group. I just don’t like to stretch. She once touched me and remarked my muscles are as stretchy as steel cables. That’s amazingly spot on. In high school I was so tight, my cross-country teammates called me cableman.
Cassandra tailored a program I can do at home. It’s really opened my chakras, releasing gobs of dynamic energy. Endorphins have eased my tightness. I encourage you to give the wonderful poses below a try.
Cassandra says symbolizing the meshing of the physical with the intellectual in a pose, I can create an optimal balance. My running has become so holistic.
By running in an inverted position, I draw sky energy to compliment ground energy. Don’t have to do a lot of it. Sky is to ground like cream is to coffee.
By invoking the power of the triangle with head chakra vibes and the ancient grain energy of amaranth and quinoa contained in a package of Tru Roots brand pasta, I funnel power into my personal energy grid.
I can’t remember the explanation for this one.
I too have been working diligently to increase my flexibility. I’m now able to bend at the waist and touch my knees.
I like hearing stories of people working hard to increase their flexibility. Good job, Bob. Keep it up and I’m sure one day you’ll be able to touch below the knees!
A well appointed and light-endowed living room Jim. Love the hardwood! But you must fix the dented heat vent. Otherwise, a strained IT band is undoubtedly in your future
You have good eyes, Dave. Thanks for the compliments. However I called Cassandra as I was doubtful about any karmic connection between my heat vent and IT band. But it appears you have intuitive abilities. She says on the next full moon where Venus and Mercury are in the evening sky, I’ll suffer from IT band pain if my heat vent is still unrepaired
