The following text is from Angeline Boulley's 2021 novel Firekeeper's Daughter. The narrator is an Ojibwe teenager who runs in the morning before going to school. Levi is her younger brother.
My brother complains about my lengthy warm-up routine whenever he runs with me. I keep telling Levi that my longer, bigger, and therefore vastly superior muscles require more intensive preparation for peak performance. The real reason, which he would think is dorky, is that I recite the correct anatomical name for each muscle as I stretch.
