What it Shwas Suzi McDonough
I'm Suzi. I live in suburban Mpls/St. Paul, and spend my days working in graphic design and sales. I suddenly find myself caught up in the First Day to 5K, a podcast running program that should have me ready to run a 5K race in October or so. My fridge is filled with organic stuff these days, because I've just started learning about what sorts of dastardly things are done to our food in this country, and it's pretty horrifying. My awesome family includes The First Baseman and a couple of daughters, Rose and Kelly, who are just about grownups. I love the ocean like it's my religion and try to visit it a couple times per year. The girls and I are on a constant quest to change The First Baseman's mind about stuff, like getting a dog and letting me use his name when I blog about him. I see as much theater as I possibly can, and I am the last remaining Minnesota Timberwolves fan. Look for me in section 126.

Crazy Cat Lady runs a 5K race

Remember how I said I was going to run in the St. Peter Halloween Fun Run? And remember how I twittered about the fabulosity of my costume? Well. I did not lie. It's almost 3 a.m. the next day (long story!), but here are the pictures I promised:

Above, we have Sophia the angel, me the crazy cat lady, JohnHenry as some sort of nightmare clown that eats babies, and my brother Eddie as Ward Cleaver.

And below, behold a photograph of my huge butt, complete with stowaway cat:

Very niiice, huh? The thong was a last-minute addition requiring a trip to Walmart at 10 p.m. on Friday. If you are looking for adventure to start your weekend, Walmart at about 10 on Friday will provide it for you.

And here is the big moment. Big for me, anyway. I'm crossing the finish line, and making a face at my mom, who wielded the camera and took all these fine photos.

And there you have it. One completed 5K under my belt, and I did it while carrying 400 pounds of clothing and another 300 pounds of hairspray. I was light on dignity, though, so it all evened out.
