Running Away_Podcast

After an extremely long hiatus, we are once again ready to run away from our problems. The covid era has been tough on everyone but also tough on our memories as we try to remember the format for the podcast itself! we discuss the amazing women's US marathon and Half marathon records falling in January, the movie 'Into the Wind', and also lentils, pre cooked.

welcome to 2021, where we roll home at 5pm, eat a cheese toastie and fall asleep still wearing a coat because its dark and shit and you can’t go anywhere… is this the same for everyone?And we did a quiz because that is the limit on our social interaction in this new era! A slight breakdown in comms means this big quiz may only be partly running themed, but it is 2020 themed, as if we all need to spend more time reminiscing over that!

Do you remember when 2020 was supposed to be a one off crappy year of covid? Can you remember all the crazy things  that happened this year?Join the Graham Sisters as they quiz each other and quiz along to the episode if you so wish... put those lock down 'family quiz skills' to the test...
