Hey, Wanna Run a Half Marathon for Free?

I know some of you may have seen the same giveaway on other blogs. But here's why you should really enter on MY blog. 

A) I do not believe in random selection. I'm all about favoritism. 
B) I've never said "you're almost there" (except the one time I helped a lady give birth in an elevator). 
C) I'm better looking than 79.2% of the other giveaway...ers. 
D) I've gotten lost in an ultra once and dedicated an entire race report whining about it. 
E) I don't listen to music while running so when you see me on the course and yell "looking good!", I'll be able to yell back "bullshit!". 

So create your own fate and leave a comment telling me why you want to run the LA 13.1 Marathon. But make my sides tickle. Be creative. Say something nice about the kick-ass new course. Bet you'll smoke me by XX:XX. Tell me what costume you'll run in. Offer sexual favors (I'll politely decline). Offer money (no comment). 

Something. Anything. And let's BOTH throw down come January 15, 2012. 

Good luck.

I'm not entirely sure I'd be ready to run a half in a month, but that's never stopped me before.

I want to run the LA 13.1 Marathon because you are running it! (Does sucking up help with winning??)

I want to run this race because it will be great training for me not to die in Arkansas and motivation to do a long run! and see you and hang out after and maybe meet JB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since nobody's done it yet, I'm going to go ahead and play the sympathy card... I ran the first 2 of these races and loved them! I couldn't afford it this time around due to a long streak of unemployment, and I'm dying to try out this new awesome-looking course! Plus, we do have a lot in common: we both love running, we both hate David Stern, and we both work in film/tv (well, I try to at least). It'd be a great honor to run this with you, and I'm a terrible briber, so please choose me so I don't have to resort to that. Thanks!

If I had 1/2 a heart, you'd be a shoe-in. Well done Dos Siete. Bar has officially been raised.

i want to win because i'm incredibly cheap and didn't win running & rambling's free race entry and it'll be a good tune up for the rose bowl half the next week that has a special category for big men where i plan to go ham.

I want to run it because running on a beach in January is why I deal with LA traffic, smog and the threat of the big one.
