Mark,
Thanks for your kind words! I tore an Achilles 28 years ago playing street football. Since that time, I have been a "stretching fool" with regard to my legs (especially from the knees down) and have not suffered so much as more than minor discomfort, thank goodness. I guess that if we work as hard as most cross fitters do, we are likely to sustain some type of injury as we go along. I'd like to remain injury free, but the tradeoff so far has been a no brainer.
