Hi again!

Like you, I knew very little about Milo of Croton until I started to do some research and to read a bit more about him. He sounds like he was a fascinating person and a very strong man. I read that he used to carry a calf around on his shoulders every day as part of his strength training. That is incredible! I am positive that I could not carry anything half that heavy around on my shoulders. Could you?

I hope that you continue to learn new and interesting things on the Winter Learning Journey. There are five more days of cool activities for you to explore!

Cheers, Rachel
