I do not want to lie, I have never heard of Michael Thomas, but to be honest, I don't know any other runner either 😉
The story is very interesting though, especially that he didn't win the Boston Marathon although he was faster than the two previous winners 😀
Good luck in the challenge Jo ☺️👍

Hi Hannes,
I think running an interesting sport with the runner in complete control of wherever his strides take him/her. It was something I loved to do as a child and into the teen years. There were race contests at church picnics I always took part in. Doubt if I could outrun a turtle now 🐌( snail will have to do for emoji.🤣
Michael Thomas’s statue brought his story out to the public here. About the only sprinter/runner I heard much about was the Jamaican Usain Bolt (nicknamed Lightning Bolt) who won several gold medals.
Thanks so much dear Hannes for reblog, generous tip and goodies.🤗
We have some 10 C weather coming in the next two days. I doubt if there will be snow on Christmas.
Have a great Wednesday!

Hi Jo,
I loved to run when I was young, but I have never run a race, I ran just for fun, also in the mountains. But when I was about 30 I slowly stopped and today you and the snail might be able to overtake me 😁
Oh yes, Usain Bolt is a name I also know :)
Our weather is also too warm for winter and it's gray in gray - no snow in sight, But I'll see some of that white stuff today, because I will give my dad a lift back home from hospital where he has an appointment today :)))
You have a great day too, dear Jo 🤗🌞
Cheers and !BEER
