Archimeters

Long breathe and bend begins. Hands reach behind head searching for the bed. Navel becomes an apex, belly button at its zenith. Exhalation allows a greater flex, groin loosening and pelvis is now flared. Holding and reaching hands alongside bedspread a deep tightness is felt from head to toes. Rising up, as the lungs are almost two thirds empty, there is a deep crack in my ribcage. The back arch stretch has served its purpose, relieving the tightness in my left-side. Feeling it all through my body, it reminds me of the way this stretch accentuates good posture in the run. A strong curved backbone is integral in covering meters quickly and smoothly. To be a wizard at the run involves more than just the run.
