Soundtrack: The Postal Service's Such Great Heights
Tokyo is a great city to run in, and unlike Paris, many locals partake. So many in fact, that the March 22nd Tokyo marathon is a madhouse to get into. 250,000 people applied for the lottery for just 35,000 spots. Colleagues and friends who want to participate suggested that I just go to the Taipei marathon. However, these doubters didn't account for the wonders of the web: yes, you can now virtually run the Tokyo marathon using custom avatars. The ultimate lazy runner's marathon, your avatar can even have a bulbous head with birds nesting in your hair.
