Kia orana, Prudence! How wonderful that you have decided to join the winter learning journey and blog over the holidays. I have learnt something about the running events at the Ancient Olympics by reading your post. Ka pai!
ReplyDeleteKia orana Prudence,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the WInter Learning Journey! I am so happy that you have decided to join us his holiday and that you've already posted two blogs. Awesome work!
I, too, would have chosen the running races if I was competing in the Ancient Olympic games. I quite enjoy going for a run and sometimes I even go running with my son, Aronui. Do you ever go running?
Cheers, Rachel
