Quick question: What's with the cracking?

Coming in to the homestretch of Fundamentals and looking forward to F1. Feeling much stronger in the core and flexibility continues to improve. 

Here is the actual question: Is it normal to have cracking joints (think knuckle cracking sounds) in the shoulder and back? And, is stretching the things that ache (not extreme) a good practice? 

Many thanks, 

Steve S.

Cracking happens in the beginning. 

With the stretching, back off ache. Dont get me wrong, you should feel a stretch but no ache.

Just for a point of reference for you. I'm 44 and stiff like an ironing board, my wife 39 stretchy, my skinny 10 year old boy. All of us, no cracking!
