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.

Jon and Kate Gosselin NOT getting back together

Although recent reports suggested that Jon and Kate Gosselin were thinking of getting back together, those close to Kate report this is absolutely false.

Sources close to Jon Gosselin also report the rumor is false and may be due to both Kate and Jon acting in a civil manner due to the children.

Kate is still officially single and has said she doesn't want to rush into a relationship. Also, Kate Gosselin's goals in life are also much different than Jon's - who is now working a regular job in construction.

Kate has said she loves the spotlight and intends to stay in it in some fashion. Kate has also been reportedly training for a marathon that she jokes comes in handy when "running from the paps".
