Why I hate Eddie Izzard

I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon on May 23rd. I've been in training for several months which has been particularly hard during our seemingly endless winter. Several times I have risked injury running through ice and snow. 26.2 miles is a big deal by any measure and the event itself and all the training that leads up to it, requires not only physical exertion but also mental discipline, especially getting out of a warm bed to go running in the cold. Madness, some would say. Madness many do say.
Then you get some bastard who runs 43 marathons in 52 days, making my and thousands of other's effort look rather pathetic. I hate Eddie Izzard.
