Pick Me, Pick Me!



Dear Nike,

Please, please, please pick me to run in your half-marathon this October! I am a very nice girl and I have been practicing my running alot. In fact, this coming weekend, I am running my very first half-marathon in Sacramento. I plan to finish in about 2 hours and 25 minutes. That is pretty fast and I hope that it impresses you.

Over the past few years, I understand that this event has become very "popular" among my fellow female runners. Maybe it is because of the cute race day t-shirts, the free chocolate milk or perhaps the silver Tiffany & Co. necklace that you provide to each participant. I want to tell you that I am not interested in all of these material things. I just want to run for the pure love of the sport. Do you know how good your legs feel at mile 12, I am sure that you do.

Here is a summary of the top 5 reasons you should pick me:

1. I am a nice girl.
2. I will not throw-up during the race.
3. I won't even drink any of your chocolate milk.
4. I am a nice girl.
5. I will commit to buying Nike shoes for the remainder of my life here on earth.

So, in conclusion, the purpose of this letter is to convince you that I am the perfect candidate to be selected to run your half-marathon in October. What do you think?

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Emily

I would pick you in a heartbeat especially since you won't throw up...but they will probably choose you since you promise to give them your money for life on shoes! Good luck on the race- We are so proud of you and we had better see pictures no matter what. Aiden says he loves you and you are crazy (Maybe that is his dad saying that:)
