Michael kept asking me why it was taking me so long to pack. Well, because everyone takes pictures of their shoes before putting them in a suitcase. He thinks I’m a nutcase. And, honestly, I have so many better things to be doing right now. It’s been a weird few days and I’ll explain more on that later. But here I am, packed and ready to run.

Wow. Those are the definition of FMBs.
I approve. Haha.
I have to agree on the boots, wowsers!
And the T-shirt cracked me up! 🙂
The photo shoot might have been better spent if it included a fashion show too 😉
Yes, where are the modelling shots. I KNOW you tried everything on….
Loved the black wedgies, where can I get some??
From the lesbian walking shoes to the wedges and boots, you are PREPARED! I can’t believe the marathon is in 5 days. HOW EXCITING!!!!
I love this post! Wear the shirt! And where can I get one?
the boots and that shirt = priceless when put together. for sure. later.
Wait – this is to go run a marathon, right? You are going to look great but your feet might hurt a little.
If you wear that black Tee you might have to run a little faster what with all the boys chasing you and all.
Um, just how many weeks are you staying in Chicago for?
That shirt is f’n hilarious. I am still sitting in my office laughing. I have also found it’s so much funnier when you say it out loud.
…seriously….try it….
….you did try it didn’t you. You guys are sick.
Okay… so I noticed some heals in there. I don’t know if I would ever feel comfortable wearing heals before a marathon, or after for that matter. LOL!
Suz,
In what parts of Chicago will you be running…I am thinking that shirt just might get you some business or arrested or both! Just a thought…..
seriously, how many days are you staying? that’s more outfits than i wear in a week! you’ll be the best-dressed sub-5-er there. 🙂
You are taking more clothes and shoes than I HAVE. Period.
Ha.
You will not need the F-me boots based on the latest weather report. CONDITION YELLOW!!!!!
The T-shirt could get some serious traffic on the running streets of Chicago. Seeing as how I am supposed to be your posse I am struggling to come up with an appropriate shirt for me. Suggestions are welcome at blockisland.blogspot.com.
I cannot believe you are bringing so many shoes! You go! Do the lesbian walking shoes go with the I fuck like a girl T? They should sell that T in the Terry catalog. Georgena would fall off her bike.
Holy moly, you travel like a 1920’s movie star! But you look like one, too, so it’s all good.
Best of luck.
I am seriously coveting your favorite sandals…
Have a great time and a great race.
1. Frontrunners, an LGBT running group, always hosts one of the water stations around mile 8 or so. They will be ALL OVER that t-shirt.
2. I know the weather says 70s, but you should maybe bring a light jacket or something… it hasn’t been that warm here lately, and the lake really cools things off.
The shirt’s no good. It’s black and you’ll get all hot and sweaty.
Maybe later you can explain the LWSs.
Are you visiting Chicago or moving there?
Runner Susan! I am going to be the jerk here, I’m sorry – I love your blog (normally) and hope you do wonderfully well in Chicago – best of luck to you. Does your daughter read your blog? Or your mother? I guess I’m just hopelessly old-fashioned but I don’t think the t-shirt is cute and I think in your 50’s (like I am) you might think better of it, too. And I don’t get the lesbian shoe comment at all – I have lots of lesbian friends, particularly running friends, and they’re all so different, like “real” people, that I really don’t understand. They are adorable shoes, however, I love them. Anyway, I’ll move on and read different blogs from now on since I’m obviously out of step (running joke!)
Those aren’t lesbian shoes, those are LIPSTICK lesbian shoes. They have heels. And yeah, I have lesbian friends and the more ‘macho’ among them would NEVER wear shoes with a heel!!
Love the shirt!
offensivesusan.com…. HEE! 😉
LOL… Love the shirt…and how many shoes do you need?
Best of luck!
BTW, which shoes are the margarita and/or wine-drinkin’ shoes? ’cause i didn’t see any flip-flops…
Beautiful clothes and shoes packed and a great attitude for an outstanding marathon! Go get em Susan!
and yes helmets look dorky on everyone except hot tri guys they swing it so well.
I noticed you’re not packing any underwear. Go Susan!
Good luck this weekend! I can’t wait to hear about all your adventures and where you wear all those shoes! I hope you’re flying an airline that doesn’t limit baggage! =)
now we know why your back had a spasm: reaching up to hang the clothes, bending down to place the shoes; reaching up, bending down; rinse, lather, repeat.
whatever happened to throw it all in the trunk and go sans map?
michael can’t judge you. he hung his shoes over the sink. see? i forget nothing.
