Day Sixty Six: My Plea to Marathon Tours.

I'm sure that not all of you are aware of this, but I've been training for a marathon since the beginning of the year, namely the Great Wall of China Marathon.

Much to my dismay, as I was arranging travel tickets and about to buy my bid for the race, I realized that in order to go there I have to buy a tour package, I can't just buy my bid by itself. I wish that I could afford this, but I can't. I was going to grab a discounted flight into China as a courier, carrying a mysterious package that leaked a yellowish powder and stay in a $2 a night hostel in Beijing for the days preceding and following the marathon.

Their plan is AMAZING (five star hotel, you get to hang out with all the other runners of the marathon, they take care of your meals, you get your own personal servant and masseuse who will follow you around 24/7 to make sure that you are in good spirits and good health) but costs nearly five times what I could finagle it for.

So I wrote them a letter.

Tom says I've lost my marbles and I'm retarded to think anyone would negotiate with a person crazy enough to send an email like the one I sent, begging.
But, my fingers are crossed.
