RE: Honouring An Athlete Of The Past: Mi’kmag Runner Michael Thomas

[redheadpei]

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 🤗🌞
