I agree. Skipping a post-run stretch is a big mistake. (Just take the stretching easy after longer runs, like a marathon. Then your muscles are weak and intensive stretching can damage them.)
I avoid most pre-run stretches, but find that both static and dynamic stretches of my ankles pre-run are helpful. There are specific studies that also support this.

One: It increases the amount you can stretch so if you need to be able to stretch far for some reason it will help with that. Two: It feels great. I stretch a lot for this reason. As far as I know there are no other proved benefits to stretching.
