When I got a place for the London marathon, I told myself "I'll either go for a personal best aiming for sub 4 hours, or I'll do it in costume"

Training has not gone well so option 1 is out of the window. Haven't done a run longer than a half marathon since September due to injury

SO costume it is!

My first thought was an inflatable dinosaur costume. We did a test try of this at parkrun a few weeks ago, but it did not last 2km, let alone 42km. Photos in gallery above

Then a pineapple seemed fun

The event will take place on Sunday 21st April, if anyone is free and wants to cheer me on, I'll be running through London in a big pineapple costume. Bib number 23619, start time 11am, route map in gallery above.
