Hopeing to do a half marathon Sunday (http://meadowsmarathon.org.uk/site/), and kinda wanna do it in a costume.

Thinking of doing it in one of these;

But not sure yet. Think they have a wee battery powered fan to keep it inflated.

Anyway, anyone run in one of these/a similar inflatable costume before? How annoying was it? Head bob around loads? Do you get really sweaty in it (especially legs)? Does the fan use loads of battery juice?

people, we have jumped the shark of threads.

Or not.

looks dangerous, wear a helmet.

I ran the great north run in 2000, by mile 11 I was knackered but when I got overtaken by a bloke running in a canoe he had cut leg holes in, I realised how lame I was being and upped my game. Do it.

Look on the bright side, a mate of mine did the london marathon and got overtaken by Jade Goody

do it properly – I give you Mr Testicles;

Racing? Silly costumes? Amusement for the public? Work manage this each year rather well…

Just try to avoid anything that chafes. Or use lots of Vaseline.
