Izzard completes charity marathon trek

A glammed up Eddie Izzard

It’s hard to comprehend the magnitude of Eddie Izzard’s marathon feat. The cross dressing comic has run 43 marathons in the space of 51 days to raise money for Comic Relief. In comparison the great British adventure Sir Ranulph Fiennes only managed to run 7 marathons in 7 days.

Izzard, who confessed to having no sporting inclination in the build-up to the marathon trek, has covered a mind boggling 1,100 miles of the British Isles.

After finishing the jaunt in Trafalgar Square, London, Izzard said ‘I’m going to have a party somewhere that’s dry and then I’m going to sleep for a week.’

The double Emmy award-winning comedian played down the achievement by saying ‘I don’t think what I did is that amazing, anyone can do it.’
Watch a weary Izzard complete his charity jaunt below.

 In every walk of life there is a line. A line to respect, a line to tow and a line which you can come close to touching, but in no circumstance can ever cross.

Most normal people understand the various rules of the line, but not Antonio Margarito and his cronies. Presumably, distracted by the fun you can have with plaster, they had no such time to learn the rules and have metaphorically urinated all over it.

The video below featuring Antonio Margarito, Brandon Rios and trainer Robert Garcia making fun of Freddie Roach’s Parkinson’s disease is sure to be pulled from YouTube so watch it now and shake your head in disbelief at how out of line (see what we done there!) this really is…
