“A runner needs not just to be skinny but - more specifically - to have skinny calves and ankles, because every extra pound carried on your extremities costs more than a pound carried on your torso. That's why shaving even a few ounces off a pair of running shoes can have a significant effect.”

“My mother read me biblical stories at night.”

“Shallow communities are relatively easy to build.”

“I say, 'Be brave. Do it even if your ankles shake, because they will.'”

“I've always had little problems in my ankles when I played very hard games, they'd get very inflamed and stiff.”

“There's nothing wrong with ankles. But only if you're playing football in the park.”
