This one went under my radar a bit, apparently Eddie Izzard is running 1100 miles, 30 miles a day with one rest day a week, around the UK for the next 7 weeks for sports relief.

Apparently he had 5 weeks training so it should be easy….As a newbie runner i find this all kind of awesome for the sheer bloody mindedness of it all.

Yeah, he was on Radio 1 earlier this week – basically saying it was his way of sticking 2 fingers up at David Walliams as he "only swam the channel once"! 🙂

It sounds crazy but fair play to him if he manages it.

What a guy!!! I think Eddie is awesome.

Ever since I saw him in tights I always thought he had great legs …. 😛

Is he gonna do it in drag? Whilst reciting the Geoff Vader sketch constantly?

Bloody hell – I thought that he was walking every marathon! Doh!

Mucho respecto…..
