Kate Gosselin Ready to Rock N Roll Marathon

This Sunday in Chicago, Kate Gosselin will be running a mini-marathon known as XSport Fitness Rock 'N' Roll Chicago Half Marathon. The run is just over 3 miles and also features bands on stage during the festivities.

Kate Gosselin spoke to the Chicago Tribune over the phone and explained how she got into running about 2 years ago. Running is a great inexpensive workout that also allows her to have time to herself. She doesn't get much "alone time".

When asked how she will prepares or what her prerace traditions are, Kate said, "The night before the race, I eat plain mashed potatoes for that carb load,” she will be running for couponcabin.com, a shopping website that hosts a blog she writes. “And the morning of the race, I eat a bagel with cream cheese. It's what I did before San Diego and it worked perfectly.”

She finished the marathon in San Diego in under two hours.

Kate Gosselin Misses Television

Kate Gosselin has been crying
recently from watching old
Jon and Kate Plus 8 episodes.

Kate Gosselin has been tweeting lately about how she and the kids miss being on television.

Kate tweeted recently that she really "enjoyed all the adventures and helping people" when she had her reality show. She might also be missing the lucrative money she made from Kate Plus 8.

Kate informed the world she sat around today watching old shows of Jon and Kate Plus 8. She wasn't just watching the shows but informed all her Twitter followers she was crying "happy and sad tears".

As of now, the only known occupation Kate has is blogging for http://couponcabin.com. No one knows exactly what that pays, but it probably doesn't go too far with 8 children.
Her gig with the cruise ship fell through in May due to a lack of interest.

Octomom Vs Kate Gosselin

"Pregnancy Belt in Black and Green"Octomom, Nadya Suleman, thought originally she could cash in on having eight children in a similar fashion as Kate Gosselin. When she finally concluded that this wasn't going to happen she entered the porn world.

While Kate Gosselin has been accused of using her eight children to become a celebrity, Kate was married and gainfully employed when she conceived her six children with ex Jon Gosselin.

Octomom intentionally set out to become pregnant with eight children. She already had six children and had no marketable skills or job to support the children she already had. Her own mother even spoke out against her saying the six children she had were already too much for both of them to handle.

This didn't stop Nadya from her desire to become a "celebrity". She thought by having a massive brood she could be the next "celebrity mom" with her own reality show.

Suleman did get an appearance on The Howard Stern Show where she proceeded to degrade herself more, yet seemed to enjoy all the attention. It is not hard to see, she may have some type of personality disorder.

So, although some may not like Kate Gosselin, she certainly can't be compared to Octomom in any way.

Here is an interview with Octomom on the Today Show.
