No Alex, I am your father...

On November 1st, my company held a mini-marathon of 6.5kms. In our practice runs I had timed quite well and would have been in the top ten in the actual thing but for one thing; our boss had the bright idea of making us run in costume. We were directed to a website and allowed to choose what we wanted. I chose Darth Vader cos it looked cool on the website. Of course, I hadn't considered the practicalities of running in a mask...

Certain people didn't bother choosing a costume and therefore I was able to choose for them and get myself an Obi-Wan, a Yoda and also my very own Storm Trooper.
Here I am trying on my costume. It was clearly not designed for someone as tall as me as it was not long enough between shoulder and crotch and therefore risked me sounding less like the vocally impressive James Earl Jones and more like one of the Chipmunks...Here I am all masked up, it was certainly fun to play Darth Vader for the day.
