Eddie Iz Running - Eddie battles the weather - Video Diary Part 5 - BBC Three

You can sponsor Eddie's run for Sport Relief at http://www.comicrelief.com/donate/eddie

Eddie has passed the half way stage of his quest to run through the four capitals of the UK. He's made it to Northern Ireland, but en route he has encountered his most dangerous road to date, which in one place required a police escort. On top of that, he has had to withstand torrential wind and rain, making his journey all the more difficult.

A man who stops when he sees a dead fox on the road, and takes the time to remove the poor thing in pity, is rare. Thx for posting these videos - he's something else.

Well done Eddie! What you're doing is truly epic! I love your Northern Ireland flag design.

Is it just me, or does he look kinda fat? I mean, if he is fat, then it's great that he can run such distances in a limited amount of time. (days)

Right now billions of living things on this planet are being mutilated and killed due to silly little lifestyle choices, like buying and burning gasoline. Plants, animals, people...the fox is not pitiable, Ed and the rickshaw driver simply honor the spirit of the animal and do the courteous thing. And yes, it is rare. Mr. Izzard fucking rocks.

@blf112761 I wonder when he's going to jog around Rockford, IL? ;) I'd join him ... in my mind. And on my bike. :) Every foot of the way.
