You might know I enjoy a good podcast - I favour No Such Thing as a Fish. Today I learned
: Australia exports camels and sand to Saudi Arabia (their sand is the wrong kind of sand for building)
: The best selling car in the USA and sometimes UK has in some years been the cosy coupe
: Lego is the biggest seller of car tyres
The podcast was from 2014 and I don’t remember the exact years these facts applied to but still QI!
At that point the podcast stopped 🤷♀️ so I ran naked for the rest of my 5k (so not totally naked but it was too hot earlier in the week to leave my current (non)parkrun time where it was 🤣). I thought recently that my breathing was much improved but turns out when you can actually hear yourself it may not be quite as great as I’d hoped. However it was cooler and wet so a fun run and the bonus was a PB!! A whole 8 second improvement but had totally given up on any faster runs (previous was 18 months ago). Oh and for the first time in months I saw an actual 🐌. Sorry to ramble 🤣 happy 🏃🏼♀️ 🏃🏼♀️

Great new PB and thanks for the QI facts, interesting. We saw so many snails on our walk the other day, unfortunately we couldn't avoid the occasional crack as we stood on one hidden by vegetation- I shall avoid running that route for the time being. Happy running 🤗
Thank you. I’ve only run faster on a cooler and flatter Scottish outing. Make that colder!! It was January!! 🤣 My home parkrun is showing 6 pbs already for this week’s (non)parkrun out of 15 runners. Also thanks to sorting by age grading I’m top of the pile 🤣 for now. It’s the small victories!!
Thank you. The podcast is full of leftover QI facts. Be warned - sometimes rude but always funny and I think there are over 300 episodes! Hope you enjoy
Woooh hoooo! 🙌🏽 Congratulations on the PB Sybilw!! 🤗🤩
Nothing wrong with random facts!! It must have had you captured because you’ve remembered them. They are pretty amazing and you’ve got a PB too!! So you’re amazing too!! 😁❤️
Aaah....thanks so much Sybilw!! 🤗! I’d rather be running to be honest, but I’m finding myself short on time to get back to the places I really enjoy my runs! Nevertheless, it will happen!! 😁
I WAS listening to recent ones then they released the old ones so don’t think I’ll run out! - unless I change my mind and go for longer distances. (I won’t!!)
