Dave Is Running A Marathon

[Dave]

And you should sponsor him.

I’m running the London marathon in April to raise £3000 for charity. Any and all donations welcome. I’ve never done anything like this before, but training is going OK at the moment so I’m quite confident.

I know times are hard and the situation is grim, but I’ll bet everyone here can spare either a pound or a pound a mile or maybe even a mound of pounds:

Selfish bastard.

[Ian Symes]

Bah, I thought this thread was going to be able a mammoth Dwarf repeat.

[ori-STUDFARM]

^Me too.

What happened to the stereotypical view that as Dwarf fans we are all fat bastards and can’t run?

And there was me thinking he was racing someone in a giant Snickers bar outfit.

>Selfish bastard.

You have to sponsor in order to make a costume suggestion.

Hold on, wait a minute. Are you trying to tell us we need to sponsor you into order to make a costume suggestion?

[Dave]

Oh come on, he’ll have been preparing for a ninety days and ninety nights. Don’t you want to see the result?

[Tarka Dal]

Good answer man, good answer.

[Dave]

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like these will be available in time for the marathon:

Actually looking at the other costumes on the site I doubt they’d survive a moderately warm fancy dress party nevermind 26 miles.

[Dave]

It’s tomorrow & I’m more than a little nervous about it. Thank you to those of you that have sponsored me & the link is in the first post for those that haven’t. Sorry I haven’t been about much but between training & the death of my laptop I’ve been busy.

Good luck Dave!!

Woody the Drummer from Madness is running. If you catch up with him Dave. Say hello from me. He’s hoping to do it in 3 hours 30.

[Tarka Dal]

Congratulations Dave.

[Dave]

Thanks. We got round the course in 5 and a half hours.

My knees no longer bend.
