I think this is why a lot of people get injured as they get older. You just don't realize how much less time you're putting into something you used to be able to do really well, then you try something that used to be easy with less flexibility and bam. problems, heh. I ran an obstacle course recently after having not done it in awhile. I was actually pretty surprised at how coordinated I still was (I'm 31, so I don't have all the issues I could yet), but I felt the tightness during and was sooooo sore the next day I really need to start doing consistent balance drills and flexibility training
