Yes it is
Not stretching before and after you run is tantamount to asking for achey legs the next day

He never stretched his heart enough
though his daughter has done her best to make up for it by stretching a lot of cocks.

I like this a lot
More than any other association with the word Cyrus, in fact

No it's not
not warming up and warming down is likely to result in more pain the next day, but stretching isn't actually necessary. All stretching does is make you better at stretching.

Yes and no
Stretching loosens your muscles which will otherwise constrict as a result of the exertion. Warming up and down, ie not stopping dead and dropping into a chair as soon as you finish running, is very important but you should stretch as well.

It was fucking lush though.

It was a mixture of lamb, chicken and kofte shish
all served on bed of lamb and chicken doner, with chips and salad on the side, and a crispy pitta bread. Little dollop of garlic sauce on the meat, big splurge of HP Fruity on the chips.

Sat there drinking a can of Sprite, watching Hollyoaks.

I'm so fucking cool I make Chompy look like a loser.

Oh, Al, you were doing so well
Hollyoaks. I won't lie to you, I'm disappointed.
