London Marathon organisers have already indicated Sunday might be the hottest (weather wise) race ever. So, just wondering if there's any well-meaning middle-aged chubster in your area already outing him/herself as one running in a costume for a heart-breaking personal reason. Just sayin' Well fuck. London Marathon: MasterChef semi-finalist Matt Campbell dies. Not exactly a middle-aged chubster in a costume, but from your neck of the woods! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
