Kate Gosselin Aiming to Run Marathon

Looks like Kate Gosselin is in training to run a marathon sometime soon. Over the weekend, the 36-year-old reality TV star was tweeting about her running escapades, noting on Sunday that she had just finished an 18-mile jog:

Holy cow! I just ran 18 miles! I’m amazed… And very hungry and extremely tired! but very happy!

According to ‘sources’ close to Gather, the mom of eight started running to lose weight and cut down on stress. The former, at least, has clearly been achieved (see: above picture). Gather reports that Gosselin was running over 13 miles just a week ago, but has now added more miles.

When one of her followers tweeted her congratulations, Gosselin replied:

I’m hoping to do the full marathon instead of 1/2… But don’t tell any1. Lol. Not positive yet

While “don’t tell any1″ suggests Gosselin doesn’t quite have the hang of this tweeting lark, she’s certainly got running nailed down. I think I might – and it really is a might – have walked 18 miles in 2011. I guess 20 miles is next for the former TV star.

If she were to book her spot on a starting line, one would assume she’d be running for a charitable cause. Then again, recent money-related woes might suggest otherwise – which don’t look like improving now she’s blogging (arf). Mind you, if she can resist a second Audi TT, I have a hunch she’ll be okay.
