Most of you have not run marathons (yet), but you are familiar with capitalism, I'm sure, and as capitalism dictates, anywhere there is a large group of people, there will be a small group of people trying to get them to buy stuff.
It is the norm at marathons for photographers to cover the entire course taking shots of every last runner throughout the race. I've run 3 now, all different sizes, from 150 runners to 15,000, and there are no exceptions. Those bib numbers? Yeah, what are those for? DecORaySHUN?
No.
They're for identifying you in photos and flooding you with emails linking you to pages with those photos for sale at laughable prices.

HA, that's so funny! After I clicked on your belly and checked out the pictures, Tricia and I laughed at how unreasonable the prices were FOR ONE PICTURE...much less the package. Then...I read your blog...same wavelength brother...scary
I didn't see the one of you vomiting...
Seriously... I'm anxiously awaiting the publication of more of your adventures in China... You really should think about writing as a side career. I've really enjoyed your writings.
