Colorized picture of my grandfather running a marathon in Hamburg, Germany in the early 1920s

My athletic grandfather was boxer, mountain climber, cross country skier, long distance runner, and in his later years a speed walker, including long distance events like the 100km of Biel, in which he participated in well into his 70s. He was a life long member of the SV St. Pauli

Fittingly, her shelter name actually was Sadie the Goat, after the legendary river pirate and Queen of Thieves.
