peachtree road race

so C wants to run the peachtree road race on friday...

people make such a big deal about this race. i don't know why. first of all, its a race. a 10k in fact. and it's run in july. how fun does that sound?

i've done it before, twice before actually, and i can't say that i was all that excited to do it. i mean why do any of us subject ourselves to 6+ mile run in july? no idea.

but, because i love C, i have decided to help her on her quest for a bib number (as she didn't register beforehand).

here's what i posted in the "For Sale" section of CraigsList:

You are running out of time! - $30 (Atlanta, Georgia)

....so give up on selling your Peachtree Road Race number for more than what its worth. There are a million+ people on here trying to sell their number for over $50...some $100! Ridiculous. Seriously. Think about it. Completely ridiculous.

It's July 2, you have one more day to sell your Peachtree Road Race number to me for face value. I don't care what time group it is and I'll even appreciate that you sold it to me at face value with a smile and I'll pay you cash! See... easy.




*FYI: When you post your classified listing, it says very clearly "please do not sell your ticket for more than face value". Just saying....

Here's what i posted in the "Wanted" section, but it got removed:

YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME

....so give up on selling your Peachtree Road Race number for more than what its worth. There are a million+ people on here trying to sell their number for way beyond what its worth and its ridiculous. It's the Fourth of July! Very un-American to try to sell me something for more than what its worth. Not to mention un-cool.

Anyway, I think my job here is done. I have informed all you shady CraigsList people that trying to sell a race number for more than what it's worth makes you a JERK
