Thanks mate. Like you say, we don't open up too much and even what I've said here, I'd not tell many in my real life. Don't know why.

I'm no Ryan Reynolds, but I hoped this post would help someone speak up to someone or just be more aware of what's going on in their lives and be more diligent. You said it well, preventable issues can only be prevented if acknowledged and confronted.

Kickboxing is cool, a whole body thing. Tendonitis...not so cool. Just one of those things we have to face as we age and I don't think any are immune to such issues completely.

Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
