Well Done Eddie!!!


Eddie Izzard has given a special award at the 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year for his 1,100-mile run for Sport Relief.
The 47-year-old ran 43 marathons in just 51 days earlier this year, after just five weeks of training.
At the awards bash at the Sheffield Arena, he said: ‘I'm no athlete, Not like everybody here tonight."
‘It was really tough. Everything was painful. People asked me if I enjoyed the running but I enjoyed the stopping! I staggered, I ran and I crawled.’
Izzard’s efforts raised more than £200,000 for charity.
