Kate Gosselin, the star of the recently cancelled show Kate Plus 8, has been tweeting for the last several months about training for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon. As a divorced mother of a twins and sextuplets, she has faced many challenges, but running her first 26.2 mile race this weekend might rank right up there with one of the most difficult ones.
Kate has taken to her blog and recently written a post about her countdown to her first marathon. She stated, “I’ve now run many long runs which consisted of 10 miles, then 18 miles, a 20 miler and now I’m tapering back down to 10′s before the big day!”
Kate also discussed what motivates her to train and complete this marathon and it appears that the main motivation is the message she is sending her children. Kate wrote “The kids and I had a long discussion as to why I’m choosing to run a marathon. I was able to explain to my kids that I wanted to prove to them that with hard work and determination, ANYTHING is possible in life, not only for me, but for them as well! I want my children to think back to the day their mom ran a marathon, remember ALL the running preparation she did ahead of time and realize that nothing should ever stop them from working hard to meet, achieve, and reach their goals.”
The Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon is this Sunday, December 4th and it begins at 4 pm. There are a lot of other activities that one can participate in including a Pasta Party on Saturday, a Pre-Race Brunch Sunday morning, a Run Thru Wedding Ceremony and post race parties at the XS Nightclub at the Encore and the LAVO at the Palazzo.
If you are looking for some festive family fun you can attend the 7th Annual Las Vegas Great Santa Run on Saturday, where thousands of runners from all over the world attempt to break the record for the most Santas in a run. For more information about the activities taking place this weekend in Las Vegas check out The Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series website.
Kate Gosselin will have lots of company on this marathon – more than 27,000 runners showed up in recent years. Rumor has it that Elvis might even show up!
.
Nice article, Pam.
Thanks Lindsey.
Fun article to read, but I will leave the running up to Kate. 🙂 I wish her well! Thanks Pam, and hope you do a follow up when it’s over?
Enjoyed the article Pam. What a great example Kate is setting for her kids. Hope she does well.
Thanks, I agree. She is setting a great example. We will do a follow up if there is information out there. I am sure there will be. I don’t live far from Vegas and the MGM Grand is like a second home to us. We will be in Vegas this month but not this weekend. I don’t do crowds anyway, LOL. I stay far far away on New Years Eve.
I hope its everything she wants it to be. Wish I was there to cheer her on!
GO KATE GO!!!!!! I wish her nothing but the best!
Good luck to Kate.Do your best!
Good luck, Kate!!!!
I am sending my well wishes for Kate also!
Good Luck Kate!
Good luck, Kate! You have a whole team rooting for you!

Kate finished!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!! There are many runners behind her yet. I give her credit for even doing it. Her children will be so proud of her.
I know snickers, so great for her and her kids. Congratulations to all of the runners. What an accomplishment.
Good for Kate!!
WOW! GEEZ, I am so excited for her… & honestly, ALL those who finished! You know those 8 lil Gosselins will never forget what their mom went thru’. Sweet success!
/
Pam, I missed the full marathon start, but did watch some of the reporting leading up to the 1/2 marathon. That sea of humanity & the unadulterated happiness…in the streets of Vegas! What a hoot. (Did you catch the man who had nothing on but some tape for vital parts? ;0)
Her ‘reasons’ for running sound good until she posted the shirt she had printed. Her ‘reasons’ then become a little suspect.
barbee – Kate states her reasons on her blog kateplusmy8.com. IMO, the shirt was to mock the haters since they harass her every day.
GeeWhiz – at 1st I didn’t get it! Then again, not too many ‘non believers’ – BELIEVE in much of anything or anyone. Glass 1/2 empty kinda life. A GREAT lesson for her children! I’d like to believe that Kate’s message is to the 8…not the h8ers! ;0)
HB, I did not catch that man and quite possibly I am glad I didn’t. 😉 How exciting for everyone. Twitter was on fire last night with support for Kate! We tried to do nothing but positive last night for Kate and her fellow marathoners on Twitter.
.
I can’t imagine anyone running a marathon to prove anything to the naysayers on Twitter or the hate blogs. If her t-shirt was a jab at the people who spew nonsense at her on Twitter all I can say is good for her. Sometimes a gal just have to give a little of it right back.
.
Barbee, I think I have seen your name posting over at the BL’s. Care to weigh in on our thread Google Is Your Friend? https://imperfectwomen.com/google-is-my-friend/
.
Now to me, that is a statement that one blog owner is sure making. “Do as I say not as I do.” It is almost like a big FU to the people that post at her site. 😉
.
In other news, someone mentioned on Twitter last night that Gwop was spewing conspiracy theories, so I went and took a look. I did not know that they were still alive and kicking. Sure enough, they are. Sharla is heading the pack and they are claiming that someone else ran for Kate. But the haters were saying that days ago, before the race. How coincidental and how typical.
‘Quite possibly I am glad I didn’t’…you got that right, Pam! The t.v. announcers were repulsed & quite nervous that their cameras caught the nakedness. The retired marathoner who was helping w. the commentary (?) had thought he’d seen everything – even he was surprised he was allowed to run in that state! ;0)
Sharla’s stupidity shines bright! NO WAY could anyone run for Kate…the tracking is so sophisticated – NO marathoner would dare cheat, as they did before going w. GPS coded trackers for each runner.
There is NO WAY a runner could cheat ~ the NON believers better go back and come up with a better lie or just ADMIT to themselves they are obsessed jealous fools.
Another time where you just have to shake your head.
.
So excited for all of those who ran this race. Twitter is so supportive today for these people. I love it.
A haters life is to TRY & bring Kate down in any manner to Moan , cry and lie 24/7 ~ All While Kate continues to PREVAIL : )
There is nothing that you can take away from this but positive and good feelings for all who competed. That is the bottom line. For anyone on the outside looking in they must be thinking that people have to be crazy to harass a woman after she has completed a marathon and to make up lies.
No one who has worked hard to actually accomplish a difficult personal goal reacts like the pathetic liars with their stories.
Positive people with worthwhile goals embrace other positive people & encourage them. Negative people always feel someone elses accomplishments take away from them & I imagine Kates accomplishment must make them feel even worse about their wasted time.
Haters live in a small dark world & you’re so right Pam, outsiders see them for what they are no matter how hard they pound their keyboards trying to feel superior.
We all make our choices, Kate chooses to reach for positive inspiring goals and haters keep reaching for negativity .
Sharla should put her running shoes where her mouth is. It could change her life!
TLC should have really done a show on this. I would have loved to have seen some more of this. Training,the run and the aftermath, LOL. It would have made a good one hour show.
The conspiracy theorists are running rampant on the BL’s too. They are cracking me up with their “nobody else in the race is embroiled in controversy” garbage. There is no freakin’ controversy. The only controversy is coming from the recesses of their very vivid imaginations.
Where is the controversy? At Gwop and Bl’s? LMAO Anyone surprised?
LOL. Here’s a sampling of the madness: Could it be possible that at the begining of the race one of the faster runners had on Kates shoes and Kate had on one of the faster runners shoes. Kate got a chip attached to the shoe she had on in her name and the faster runner got a chip attached to her shoe in Kates name. Then before the race started they switched back to the shoes that they should have had on in the first place. Now the faster runner has Kates chip attached to her shoe and is recording times in Kates name and Kate is running in her own shoes but is recording (slower) times in the faster runners name. At the midpoint when they all met up, Kate dropped out and the chip on her shoe was attached to one of the other two runners and the two runners finished sans Kate but they carried Kates chip over the finish line so it appeared all three finished together. Confusing, I know, but I don’t believe for one second Kate completely this honestly. If she did then why her, out of all the runners has controversy concerning times.
OMG!!! Unbelievable, that gave me a headache just reading it!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL
Oh my! And good grief.
IA Pam.
Anyone seeing the haters for the first time with this marathon LIE is thinking Holy Cannoli they are possessed escapees.
The Haters are showing the World how Pitifully Jealous they are!
Bbbbbbhahahhhahahahahahhahahahahahhaahhahahaahhahaha
–
That mumbo humbo conspiracy theory just translates as – blah, blah, wah, wah Kate Gosselin made me look stupid AGAIN.
–
How exhausting would it be to live your life thinking up completely ridiculous scenerios about a woman who is a virtual stranger and would never have to see\hear about, EVER, except for the times you seek her out.
Here is my THEORY ~
A UFO full of (Hater) brain sucking creatures came down to suck up what was left of all the haters brain cells ~LOL
Just a Theory !
No brain cells are left just hate ~LOL
I love it when the crazies get all wound up & develop their demented theories. Then along comes some tweet/photo/article of truth disproving them and without missing a beat they move on to the next totally made up crazy story as if they don’t have a thought about being disproved time after time in the past.
I do love that all the same haters seem to be experts in whatever Kate chooses to do.
–
Relationship experts
–
Parenting experts
–
Food\cooking\bakingexperts
–
Health & Fitness experts
–
They can all tell her how wrong she does something, even tell her she won’t do something or how she will react doing something……….. And yet do absolutey nothing but be a spectator of life.
–
I love that Kate just keeps going and proving all the sad little haters wrong and sends them into insane fits of conspiracy theories.
–
What I can’t understand is why is it so hard for each of them to admit they were wrong? They said she would fail, she would quit, etc…. She didn’t. She posted a great time for a first timer.
–
Hater sheeple continue to munch on sour grapes.
I saw a video of some local coverage. It must have been so fun to run down the strip at night. Congratulations to Kate!
I can’t believe someone took the time write out that conspiracy theory. That’s just nuts. If anything, Kate had herself cloned. Obviously, it was the clone that finished the second half. Yep, that’s my theory and I’m sticking it to it. 🙂
Lily, that clone theory is the most believable yet!
There sure is a special kind of coo coo crazy going on on twitter.
–
Kate sure knows how to whip the haters into a frenzy. Stirring up all kinds of ridiculousness. I think they’re actually trying to 1 up each other.
Talk about crazy. I am not going to copy it here but I just read a comment at Sage’s site that she copied from the BL’s and we now have……….Porta Potty Gate. Too funny!
Sage also found this picture on line…apparently ready to sell.
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/kate-gosselin-atends-the-rock-n-roll-las-vegas-marathon-1-2-news-photo/134866495
I don’t subscribe to any wild theories about how she finished or whatever. It was a little strange that her time and the friend of hers were exact times at all check points and wearing the shirt was rather stupid because the race was about doing something and showing her kids hard work pays off (her words) not to give a big FU to haters. Hey she finished and good for her, that isn’t an easy task.
Not sure why her road manager had to run the race with her. Doesn’t he have a life or has he gotten a divorce?
Kate has such a great sense of humor, doesn’t she? Loved the way she said nonbelievers and not haters and of course they made it all about themselves. Isn’t it great that Kate has someone in her life like Steve and that Steve and his wife Gina have such a secure relationship that they don’t let hurtful remarks made by others impact that relationship.
What an awesome accomplishment for all of the runners. I wonder if any of the other runners that completed the marathon for the first time had people wondering if they had changed chips or what their motivation was? There were quite a few women tweeting about running the marathon and completing it on Twitter. I just reached out to them on Twitter and congratulated them on completing the marathon.
Kate does have a great sense of humor, and I bow to her and ALL that finished the marathon. It is a huge accomplishment!!
Kate pokes back, LOL. Guess her non-fans couldn’t take the insult she gave them. Seems like Steve and Gina keep quiet, lets the haters bash, makes them look like fools. Gee, the good decetives would know if Steve was still married. 🙂
Best wishes to all the runners, it takes determination to finish.
Pam,
Guess people don’t realize when you have a job as a bodyguard, it’s your life. ROTF.
As far as we can tell looking from the outside there is no issues with Steve and his wife. Kates relationship with Steve is strange and gives more of an impression that they are a couple. It wouldn’t be the first time someone had an affair or it became exposed after some time, real celeb or not. I am pretty sure that the fans would just excuse it (based on the comments every time this point is brought up) or the fans want to ignore the possibility that it could be true. Or, they will blame it on Jon. 🙂 lol
Snickers, he isn’t her bodyguard. He is her Road Manager, her words.
Her shirt wasn’t an insult to the haters.
“The first 26.2 is for all the non believers”? That should have said “for my kids and shows what hard work will allow you to accomplish”
What am I missing here? Where is it said that Steve raced w. Kate? Saw all those images of her…no Steve. (Rod Dixon is NO Steve!)
That should have said “for my kids and shows what hard work will allow you to accomplish”TCParra
How on earth would that have fit on the back of a shirt?
HB,
Of course you saw Steve, didn’t you. Wasn’t he is the picute that showed Kate and her friends crossing the finish line? Next thing we know we will have Steve gate dressed as a women. Was Steve running dressed up as a woman?? Many people have road managers, everyone but Kate. Steve just keeps the non fans in stiches, whatevah.
There were quite a few women tweeting about running the marathon and completing it on Twitter. I just reached out to them on Twitter and congratulated them on completing the marathon.~Pam
/
Pam, that was nice of you. I was never anything other than impressed with people who undertake these kind of sporting events. The Khaters have always been poor sports when it comes to Kate. There were mass amounts of comments on GWOP when Kate and Jon moved into the bigger home. She was “undeserving.”
IMO the obsessive haters LIE about Kate cheating in the Marathon didn’t pan out as they planned.
So now they are back to their theory of a Steve and Kate affair.
What happened to the Jamie and Kate lesbian relationship story?
Coco, you are the one bringing up that stupid theory, just like you are calling the BL a lesbian because of her blog you don’t like. Unless you have some clue there, no one really is aware of any ones’s sexuality yet some feel the need to express what they speculate about it.
Lily, I’m sure they could have fit some version of that on front/back.
Why would 2 women have the same times as Kate’s? Hate to point out the obvious, but she already tweeted they ran TOGETHER.
–
There were 44000 runners, I bet more than a few posted same times.
–
As for Steve. His JOB is WITH Kate yet haters still act shocked when they are seen together. When I worked fulltime, I was often seen with my coworkers more than my husband or children. Not sure what haters don’t seem to grasp about the concept. The only ppl making issue out of their ‘relationship’ are the ppl needing to categorize it as a relationship.
Good Lord love a duck! WHy does it matter what the back of her shirt said?????? The woman is 36 yrs old, she has 8 kids and just ran her first marathon and FINISHED! How in the bloody he– does this affect anyone’s life except Kate’s and her children???? She accomplished something most people can’t and deserves to be congratulated for it.
SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!
I suppose I may be the only one who thinks Kate’s t-shrit message is more than likely understood by her 8 children ~ I don’t think Kate would bother framing those words for those who dislike her. ‘Fans’ are believers. ‘Haters’/non-fans (I don’t know WHY non-fan was coined) would never fit the template of ‘nonbelievers’.
LMAO I never started the theory about Jamie and Kate ~ Did you?
And IMO any woman that is single and has a obsession over another woman and vagina’s could be gay. ~Just saying

Above is to show YOU ~ You brought it UP.
To a post about Kate running a Marathon and Finishing it !
And Why are you bringing Jon into this? ~ He isn’t running Marathons?
“I am pretty sure that the fans would just excuse it (based on the comments every time this point is brought up) or the fans want to ignore the possibility that it could be true. Or, they will blame it on Jon. lol”
.
Or maybe they just don’t care.
HB-ICAM. I think Kate’s kids get the message.

Bingo. She is either having an affair or not having one and I don’t see why it matters to anyone other than their immediate families.
Sure, sure, coco. Nice spin on what YOU wrote:
“BL started this LIE about Kate cheating ~ she is even advertising her site at people.com ~ A bizarre Lie coming from her the Sick perverted fetish gay bashing hypocritical lesbian.”
I don’t think the BL started the wild conspiracy of her cheating, it was mentioned and commented by a lot of people. It just happens to be one of the blogs where that theory is talked about and of course she is now the person who started it. lol
Pam, are you saying that if it came out she was having an affair that you wouldn’t care and it would be acceptable?
Tcparra,
What did I say? You generalized about fans and I said maybe they just don’t care. Personally, so many people have affairs these days and I don’t waste my time worrying about any of them unless it of course impacts my family.
Have I known family and friends that have had affairs? Yes. Do I stop caring about them or being their friend because of it? No
You don’t see why it matters to anyone except family? Are you serious? This has been the one issue that each and every fan has been crystal clear about; That it never happened and Jon was making up stuff as where the non fans. This would be the issue that would blow up Kates “faux” hardest working, single mom persona.
TC,
You sure do a lot of protecting for your friend BL ??
Is there something going on with you two?
It seems that way ~Just Saying : )
Again Happy Holidays!
I loved Kates shirt. So funny. People need to be believers now. Shes so tiny & petite there’d be no room for “for my kids and shows what hard work will allow you to accomplish”, plus they’ve already had that conversation face to face …with love…and encouragement… and family togetherness… while planning a marathon party so the kids could be even more of a part of this event.
TCparra, you sure like to generalize a lot. “Every fan.” Right.
.
I am off to have a nice lunch with an old friend.
CoCo,
Be careful, the new real story may come out about the BL. LOL.
Someone)) is hiding in a Closet or Porta Potty and it isn’t Kate ~LOL
Sorry Pam, should have written – Most Fans.
#79, What are you trying to say?
I think Purse Boy or Man is a good title for Steve. There is a lovely picture of him carrying Kate’s Pink purse. So road managers also carry purses? Why would Kate need someone to carry her purse, I didn’t see a sling or cast on her arm.
CoCo,
Maybe the closet or porta potty has company. LOL.
Just because you add LOL at the end of your comments, doesn’t make it any less offensive if you are making accusations or insinuations about someones sexuality.
Snickers,
And they have special coded knocks only they know ~LMAO!!!
TC, No one mentioned sexuality but you ~ Hmm?
CoCo,
Did you mention something. )O!
CoCo,
Someone worrying about carrying a pink purse for someone else is very insecure in life. LOL.
Sounds like this race was very poorly managed and cheating was the least of their problems. I doubt record keeping was high on their list of priorities. Just a snippet of the article. The web site for the com
I ran the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon last night and it was the worst put on marathon that I’ve ever toed the starting line for. I’ve run 42 marathons/ultras and this one took the cake for futility by a long shot.
8,000 of us full marathoners started at 4:00pm with 36,000 half marathoners starting at 5:30pm. The full marathoners started and immediately left the strip for about 85 turns in the first 13 miles before we returned to the strip. When we did we merged with the half marathoners onto 2 and 3 lanes of the road. Most of us merging were relatively fast marathoners. Not superstars but not near the back of the pack either. We were merging with half marathon corrals 30-44….slower half marathoners that were dominating all lanes of the road. Not all but many of which were walking.
The marathoners were supposed to have the far left lane but it was unenforced and unenforceable.
Bedlam ensued!
Runners were pushing slower runners out of the way. Walkers were hitting runners with their swinging arms. Several runners bit the asphalt. Runners were having to hop the sidewalk, when possible, to get past slow logjams. Runners were cussing at other runners and walkers.
I overhead a pious marathoner on the plane this morning say this. “I was running and these two walkers were swinging their arms wide leaving me no room. So I pushed their arms out of the way and ran through them. They called me a ‘f**ing a**hole’ and I yelled back to them, ‘Maybe if you were faster you could speed up and kick my a**.’”
Just horrible!
I’ve read several tweets about runners having to be rushed to the hospital last night because of the conditions and over-crowding.
And you can imagine when a combined 40,000 runners plus would come upon 3 tables of water or Cytomax that the pushing, shoving and slowdown only intensified.
Rumor has it that the RNR people want to have 61,000 at the race next year to set the world record. If they allow that many runners in next year without extreme improvement then an even bigger disaster awaits them.
I felt bad for runners running their first full or half marathon. What a bad experience and taste to be left in one’s mouth from this marathon of a disaster. I hope they find a smaller, more organic race in the near future to baptise them anew with how great and fun our sport can be under better circumstances.
Everyone I’ve talked to that ran was upset and outraged in a similar fashion. Some of the best complaints were on the RNR Las Vegas Marathon/Half Marathon Facebook page.
Comments from Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon & Half Marathon Facebook Page:
Holly Miller – What is the value of a full marathon medal when you hand them out to half marathon participants? Sad and disappointed to hear the bands complaining that their fingers hurt, and the cherry on top- green bananas! I ran California International Marathon in the morning before running Vegas that night and I am blown away that for half the price CIM offered a significantly better experience.
Philip Rupp – This marathon was my 13th marathon that I have done. I have done small races that have less then 1,000 people and large races like NY and Chicago. But I have to say I would not recommend for any to do this marathon. I would recommend the half. The full is not worth it. They might as well just get rid of the marathon and only have the half. 3,766 finishers in the full and 33,123 in the half. Us in the full were treated like second class citizens and we paid more to do the race. Also agreed very unsafe.

TC,
You sure do a lot of protecting for your friend BL ??
Is there something going on with you two?
It seems that way ~Just Saying : )
So what were you trying to say with those smarta$$ comments?
How is someone insecure in life because they comment about a faux road manager or Body guard carrying a purse?
Touche snickers,
I highly doubt Steve cares if someone calls him a purse boy he seems secure enough to let it roll. : )
And if I was to assume someone as being Gay it is not offensive.
Bashing someone for being Gay is OFFENSIVE.
Big difference : )
I have not read any comments where someone was bashing a person for being gay. Let me guess, you saw it from the BL but you just can’t remember where or it was deleted or “cleaned up”.
Touche? Her comment made no sense and certainly didn’t portray or validate someone’s insecurities., whether they exist or not.
CoCo,
People who comment about Steve or anyone else carrying a purse for someone, has nothing to do with being a purse boy. It’s the person who posts it. Seems to bother them and they can stick a new name to Steve. Just a jealous person who wants to be Kate and have a great road manager like Steve. Oh well, Steve and Kate can have the last laugh. He might have to add purse boy training to his agency. LOL.
BL and her band of haters accused Kate for years of being a lesbian with Jamie.
And Kate’s gay hairdresser was attacked merciless by the Kate haters.
I am not going to lead you to it, but it is there in BL’s older blogs ~ you can also write Jamie and ask her ~ as well as write Ted Gibson and ask him what the Kate haters said to him for being gay.
I have to run snickers~ sorry to leave you, have a Great Day.
You to TC and remember Google is your Friend~ pass it on to your buddy Becky/BL : )
CoCo, have to go also, lifes calling. 🙂
See, the maturity level really shows in your last few comments. I have seen the comments at 15MGS about Jamie and Kate and I also saw where the Admin said that there is Nothing wrong with Kate being gay if she was and I also saw where the Admin told people to chill when the comments got to crude or were mean. Just because it’s on the blog doesn’t mean it is her feelings as well…
just like the statement at the bottom of this blog “The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of Imperfect Women”
The Las Vegas marathon has been happening since 1967, it is POPULAR and busy, as is Vegas in general. Marathons are busy and packed. While I’m not surprised that there were complaints about logistics, because there always is, what suprises me is that one article will be taken as proof that there were problems, therefore Kate really did cheat.
–
No one is insinuating anything about anyone’s sexuality. If you bothered to google TC, or even actually read at BL, you would have a clue what the giggling is about.
–
My favorite line from Porta Potty Gate is the ending – there is no other logical explanation……..I’m pretty sure that logic escapes more than a few KG obsessive haters.
Marnie, no where in my comment that contains the article did I say Kate cheated or even tried to cheat. In fact, I said that I don’t subscribe to any crazy theories that she did. I posted part of that article to show that it sounded like a cluster f&#K. I would say it is more than the article that provided ample proof it was a logistics mess. There are plenty of Facebook comments that detail the issues. Sounds like the planning of the route was the biggest issue.
I have read at 15MGS and I know what they were talking about regarding sexuality, in fact there are two different issues being brought up about who is a lesbian and who is intimating that others are. I think you should read the comments here, that is where the offensive comments are being tossed around.
I have no clue about the Porta Potty gate and could care less. Just another stupid conspiracy theory.
I already knew about the disorganization of the marathon. I saw people complaining on Twitter. Too many runners, ran out of water and so on.
Then double kudos to Kate for finishing . Sounds like it must have doubled the challenge for her.
TC said…I think Purse Boy or Man is a good title for Steve.
See I think that falls under attacking anyone who is close to Kate – just like the haters do on twitter. One photo of him holding her purse does not make a purse boy. I think it’s pretty demeaning and emasculating to a man to insinuate he is a “purse boy” might as well call him a pussy and get it over with
Bloghawg, that is so true. For Kate and all of the runners. I have even more respect for them now.
I’m a “marathoner spectator.” I love watching the big long races.
.
I am SO IMPRESSED that Kate Gosselin ran a marathon! As for finishing at the same time as others, of course several finish at the same time all the time.
.
Did Steve run with her? I am sorry I missed it.
We have a Christmas recipe exchange on our Slice of the Pie thread. Post a holiday recipe and be entered to win a large Imperfect Women tote bag. Pam has several to give away. The totes are perfect for sneaking the presents into the house from the car!
.
I hope every enters. 🙂
Kates relationship with Steve is strange and gives more of an impression that they are a couple. ~ tcparra
.
There has never been one inappropriate picture of Kate & Steve so what gives you the impression they are a couple? Why is it so hard to believe Steve is doing a job and he and his family have become close friends with Kate and her kids?
Sounds like this race was very poorly managed and cheating was the least of their problems. I doubt record keeping was high on their list of priorities. ~ tcparra
.
How do you come to that conclusion. No where was cheating or record keeping mentioned. Also, every runner has a chip attached to their shoe. With so many people if Kate had not run you better believe they would be screaming on the net. That cheating story was created by a disturbed Kate hater.
.
Just because you add LOL at the end of your comments, doesn’t make it any less offensive if you are making accusations or insinuations about someones sexuality. ~ tcparra

I can’t believe you had the nerve to type that. You called me and several other IW posters lesbians on your favorite hate site.
Patty, there have been other pictures of him holding a purse. This isn’t the first time he has been called Purse man (and not just by me). If he chooses to hold her purse, then fine. I’m sure he’s getting paid decent money to be Kates handler (no pun intended).
Geewhiz, ……. you took my comment out of context, literally; — “As far as we can tell looking from the outside there is no issues with Steve and his wife. — Kates relationship with Steve is strange and gives more of an impression that they are a couple. It wouldn’t be the first time someone had an affair or it became exposed..” Your question is worded as if I am the only one to speculate about their relationship. I guess I should have added “in my opinion”
I didn’t say there was cheating going on. I was making a general comment about it and that race organizers had plenty of other issues to worry about and with the technology they had cheating would be real low on priority list of concerns, etc.
If I am not mistaken, I did call YOU a lesbian in a moment of childish name calling.
Plus, I am confused how that site has become my “favorite hate site”. Because I post a comment or two doesn’t make it my favorite hate site or my home site or whatever. I post here more than anywhere else, does that make me a fan? Not really, same holds true with the other site, doesn’t make me a hater.
What is clear is that (aside from the fact that GWOP is desperately trying to regain status among haterworld blogs)haters are so invested in their overwhelming loathing of all things Kate is that they can’t even begin to accept that Kate accomplished something so they will grasp onto any theory, no matter how unsupported and/or ludicrous, that will question that accomplishment. They also appear to believe that Kate is some sort of evil genius who can pull off multiple feats of legerdemain mid-race without a camera or another runner spotting it.
It’s pathetic. Aside from the absurdity of their combing finishing times desperately trying to come up with something amiss, the fact that, well before the photo at the finish line appeared, it occurred to supporters that Kate crossing the finish line with running buddies made more sense than the conspiracy theories.
All I can say is, give it up, haters. Let it go. Let Kate have the satisfaction of this one moment of accomplishment without trying to slime it anymore. Doing so doesn’t require you to concede anything else about her character but continuing to harp obsessively on it says a great deal about you, none of it favorable.
Sage found a film clip of Kate’s marathon finish. Yes, Steve was at the finish line, appropriately doing what I’m certain he gets paid for – making good use of her time getting from one place to another hassle-free & safely. I would think that an imperative in lowering the ‘risk factor’ when there are 8 children at home depending upon their Mom – who wants name recognition in the world of celebrity. Just how SAD is it that a Steve is needed…but it’s her reality.
HB, thanks, I did see that last night. Here is the link in case someone wants to look at it. http://www2.brightroom.com/81841/59615
.
She doesn’t look any different to me than any of the other people crossing the line. I also just think it is great that she has someone like Steve to be there for her as well as these other new friends.
Thanks Pam. I didn’t feel free to post links from other blog. Read that several were wondering who Kate embraced when she crossed the finish line. Rod Dixon, a famed runner of yore…from Australia or is it New Zealand?
/
I think it’s not only exciting that Kate sets goals & goes after them. Too, it’s a terrific way to meet people w. like passion; possible further promotions for her; & who knows…maybe a future date or two. Running around her home is a stress buster, but why not spread her wings beyond Wernersville/Reading!!! ;0)
There are celebs who are much higher up on the alphabet list who never need a “bodyguard” or “Road Manager” or feel they should have one. I think a lot more of the need for this is imagined and only an excuse for Steve to be there. Kate isn’t the first person who has mean things said about her and won’t be the last. Protect her, manage her, whatever her. STeve isn’t “needed” and her reality is not real. How is he going to protect her while he is holding her purse or fetching her jacket. Besides he is her “manager” now wasn’t he supposed to be protecting the Kids at one point? That what Kate said about him when she was pressed about him once in an interview.
Pam, are you saying that if it came out she was having an affair that you wouldn’t care and it would be acceptable?—————— How does not caring=acceptance?

What is the issue with Steve? We get it, YOU don’t think there’s a need and obviously need to think there’s something a little more perverted going on, but no one is asking you to pay for his services so I just don’t get your extreme reaction to him still being employed by Kate Gosselin.
–
You don’t get to determine what someone else NEEDS. If that were they case I’m sure we could come up with a list of things you NEED to do/say/be…. etc….. I bet you wouldn’t appreciate it either.
TC,
She has a road manager, enough said. Your not paying the bill, so no dollars out of your pocket. Many people have road mamgers, you just know who they are, as they are not stalked with every move they make. It does kep the creeples busy tho—-
managers^^^
Steve held a purse? OMG! The horror. That’s what courtesous people do, sometimes they open doors for people, sometimes they say “bless you” when you sneeze, sometimes they hold a purse. BIG DEAL.
–
I have to wonder if haters ever have people do nice things for them or if their spouses are ever courteous to them? They have such issue with that, and with Kate expecting her kids to use manners, etc………. makes you wonder sometimes!
#116 ever catch an episode of Kimora? I’m sure she has 5 personal assistants. Some of them do all sorts of things, including plan birthday parites for her kids, run errands, plan a schedule, pick wardrobe.
–
Not a big deal, some people like this sort of thing, some don’t.
That excuse that fans love “oh you aren’t paying for him so why should you worry about him” is so lame. That doesn’t really address anything and is simply a nice deflection tactic. Whateveh.
Do you think that Coupon Cabinet gave Steve a cubicle next to Kate’s?
Marnie –
I have seen that Kimora’s children each have a bodyguard as well. Russell Simmons, their father, talked about it in an interview. I know that Kim K. has 3 men that walk with her at all times. I live in Minneapolis so I actually know this from first hand sighting. The few celebs that I’ve seen at airports are NEVER alone. The times that I’ve flown on planes with celebs I’ve always thought it was amusing that none of the handlers flew in first with the celeb.
TC,
It’s no deflection, it’s calling out the K-haters for their obsession over Kate. LOL. Simple terms, MYOB.
Ok, TC then tell us the real reason you worry about why Steve is still with Kate. How does it affect you personally? It may be your opinion that Kate doesn’t need Steve around, but then again, YOU don’t know the entire situation. So why do you worry about Steve being with Kate???
I think the reason we don’t hear about bodyguards or road managers when it comes to other celebrities (and they do have them) is because the husbands of other celebrities don’t start rumors that the celebrity is sleeping with the bodyguard like Jon Gosselin did.
And before we get into proof – Aunt Jodi says on her ROL interview (which is easy to find I am not going to find it for you) Jon told her he was worried Kate was having an affair with Steve – which if you look at the time lines it was at the same time those rumors were appearing on GWOP. GWOP is a blog that Aunt Jodi’s sister posted on. Things that make you go hummmmmmmmm.
Kmom2-I’d describe TC as obsessed with Steve and Kate, given how often she brings up his name, including rumors & gibes that are so old they have cobwebs on them (apparently only Jon gets to move on in TC’s view.) Not that she’d be interested, but the man Kate HUGGED at the end of the marathon is Rob Dixon, a world-class marathoner (New York 1983. He came from behind and passed the leader at the 26 mile marker in what is considered one of the most exciting finishes in NY Marathon history) and Olympic gold-medalist (1972-Munich-1500+meter bronze)from New Zealand. One of Kate’s 1st post-marathon tweets was to him, thanking him for his “awesome and practical advice.” Lindsay/Puff noticed the hug in the official finish line video. I thought it might be Dixon, based on the tweet and Ziggy found another shot and a photo of Dixon that makes it clear it was Dixon. No, I’m not suggesting anything other than a hug of gratitude, which she also gave to the two women who ran with her just after she hugged Dixon. I think getting advice and support of someone of Dixon’s caliber shows how serious Kate is about the sport. It’s actually kind of funny because I saw hater remarks attacking Kate for attempting a marathon without a trainer/professional advice.
I agree PeggyP…obsessed is the perfect word.
Peggy, you have no idea what you are talking about. I am obsessed? Wow. I rarely bring up their names together and so what if I do? I’m not the only one who has an opinion about this. I didn’t bring up anything about the man Kate hugged at end of the race and could care less. Nice of you to advertise for your home blog, no major sleuthing there as that video is all over the place. Why does that even matter? No one is saying they were doing anything.
BTW, I would say there are no cobwebs on those “rumors or gibes” as they are still talked about by some blogs. Jon gets to move on because he has (until your home blog mocks him or ellen with a photo spread) and Kate is still talked about with Steve because she is STILL with him. I think Kate has these grand ideas of her celebrity status because she has her tweeters who stalk her and shout their love to her or “protect” her.
PattyPie, Jon also remarked in his interview with Chris Cuomo that he speculates that Kate was having an affair with Steve. It was very clear how jealous he was of Kate traveling around with Steve while he had to stay home with the kids. That interview is also easy to find and I’m not providing links. Google is our friend!
I guess that would make you and your home blog obsessed with Jon and Ellen, given how many times you bring up rumors and gossip that have cobwebs on them. See it works both ways.
I only mention Steve & Kate in this thread and as part of ongoing debate, discussions.
Makes sense if a man is jealous of someone who accompanies his WIFE on trips, etc. even after he allegedly asked her to not use him and she refused. That shows Kate didn’t care about his feelings or how it looked in the public or Jon’s eyes. You are trying to make it sound as if Jon was jealous of the trips and stuff, or that he didn’t want to be at home with his kids. I think your logic is skewed.
The oh poor Jon and his shattered male ego defense. As both of Kate and Jon made clear at the time, it was Jon’s decision to drop out of speaking engagements & book signings that the pair had committed to doing, leaving Kate to carry on, bringing additional income into the family. Jon made it clear that he hated the speaking engagements (whether the fact that Kate was increasinly clearly the primary draw was a factor only Jon will know). Then Jon made it clear he was unhappy stuck at home, so they got assistance for him. Unfortunately, that left him free to go bar hopping. He may have wanted to be home with his kids, but he obviously did not want to be tied down by them. TC, Jon’s excuse for being caught in a car with Deanna at the wheel was that she was driving because he was too drunk. As the only parent at home at the time, how is that caring and responsible behavior, if even partially true? What if one of the kids had gotten sick and needed to go to the ER? How attentive was Daddy with a hangover the next day? I can only imagine how you’d handle it if it had been Kate doing what Jon did.
At the time that Jon claimed to be so bereft and insecure about Steve, the rumors were already starting about his bar hopping & hanging out with college aged girls. That’s clearly cheater behavior, the cheating spouse accusing the betrayed spouse of the behavior the cheater is engaged in, trying to deflect attention. Jon not only had Deanna Hummel at the house, with his kids, sunbathing while Kate was gone, he took her on a ski trip to Utah, on Kate’s birthday, when he was filming for the show with the trip being portrayed as Jon working with a program that teaches disabled kids to engage in snow sports. Steve is not just a bodyguard. He is a major figure in an important security firm. Both the firm and TLC were convinced on the seriousness of threats directed at the Gosselins. If Kate had caved into Jon’s emotional blackmail, it would have been something else to justify to himself checking out of the marriage.
At this point in their marriage, Kate said, and Jon did not disagree with, the fact that nothing she did or suggested made him happy.
In all this time I have never ever heard of any alleged conversation that Jon asked Kate not to use Steve. Make up stuff much???? Jon WAS JEALOUS of the trips, he did not enjoy staying home taking care of the kids, remember he blames them for losing his 20’s………that is also on video. A mature man wouldn’t be jealous. A mature man wouldn’t speculate on national television about something of that nature. Jon knew full well why Steve was there and it wasn’t as a traveling companion.

——————————
What is there to address? What is your issue with it? I see you’ve deflected that question. Kate gets to decide her needs, what else is there to discuss about that? It really does come off as being obsessed about it, you drone on and on about how you disprove, how you don’t think it’s needed, how you think blah blah blah. What exactly do you think you’re addressing regarding it?
Peggy,
Clearly you are reading and using excuses from your home blog. Those are all theories from it and it is all drama material and speculation.
Kmom
Just as I am told, just because you didn’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Google is your friend.
LOL SHeesh! TC, I don’t care enough about Jon to look anything about him up on Google!
We should all probably be a little careful telling people that Google is your friend. 😉
“Just because you didn’t see it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.” Apparently, TC, that only applies in your view when it is allegations against Kate. As for my “home blog” (your term, not mine; you really are obsessed with that blog (it is no secret which one you mean)), the material I mentioned came from other sources: primarily interviews both Kate and Jon gave and published photographs, including Deanna Hummel driving a car with a rather obviously inebriated Jon in the front passenger seat, Jon coming out of Deanna’s house early in the morning, Deanna Hummel sunbathing in a very skimpy bikini at the Gosselin property when Jon and the children were there but Kate was away (they had not yet separated at that point). Hummel was also photographed with Jon in Utah when he missed Kate’s birthday. Jon didn’t even attempt to be discrete.
I just have to giggle at hater logic. All the above mentioned things about Jon are all denied and brushed off as ‘they were just friends’. The photos of Steve and Kate show little more than a working relationship but it’s enough proof to KNOW for sure that there is an affair. Good grief!!
‘Drama material & speculation’? Now isn’t that a hoot! That’s exactly what started all of this in re. to Steve Neild. In the scheme of things…’thank goodness Kate & her 8 have the Neilds in their lives! As I remember, Jon said he ‘speculated’. Of course he would. No other way would Jon be able to justify his juvenile LUST…repeatedly. Sadly, Jon KNEW Steve & he knows to this day – that NOTHING was remotely suspect then nor NOW.
Haters got to hate. No doubt about it. On the Facebook page for the marathon there is a post about Kate running that was posted on Sunday before the race. There are over 60 comments underneath it. Some positive. Some not. The last comment under that thread is by a Lily Webster and she posts

Someone is trying real hard to discredit Kate from running but obviously they won’t use their real Facebook page.
The other thing I would like to say is that the hate blogs are doing their best to discredit Kate and determine there is a controversy but the real issue with all of this is how poorly this race was ran and managed. Those people that ran it are angry.
.
Hollybaby has another exclusive out. A source close to the Gosselin family has said that Kate is limiting her kids to one gift a piece. This was in the article:
.
Kate’s budget is tight,” a source tells us. “Kate has always tried to make sure her kids aren’t greedy, but this year especially she is trying to teach them that Christmas isn’t about gifts. She told them to start deciding what they want so she can tell Santa.”
.
I thought Kate’s kids do not believe in Santa or do I have that wrong?
Colleen XXXX Assuming that they ran essentially side by side, then there is no issue. I tend to do my races with a friend and often we’ll have the same time because we started and finished together
–
John XXXXX I would say it’s not out of the ordinary if two people are runnung together that they would have the same times. I would question how they got a 23.1M split time and many others, including myself, did not!
—
Jenny xxxx @John – the 23.1M point only had the mat across half of the street (on the half marathon side) not the whole street so if you didn’t see it there and move to go over it, you missed it.
Marnie where specifically is this from?
Yes she tweeted that they don’t believe in Santa. Not surprised Holly Baby got it wrong AGAIN.
_
I see nothing wrong with limiting the amount of gifts kids get, since when was Christmas all about having to get alot of gifts? I’m sure they’ll get gifts from Jon & Ellen and whoever else gifts them. Why does Kate have to buy them multiple gifts?
HollyBaby was actually saying they give Kate credit for this…..but I just don’t believe they talked to someone in the know if they were saying that Kate was going to tell Santa.
I guess I don’t feel so protective of this “Lily” if she is going to go on a public page and make a statement like that. I don’t have a problem giving a link to her profile page since it doesn’t any personal info on it.
“A source close to the Gosselin family’…???? The # of hits Hollybaby gets will pad her debit card.
Controversy? What controversy?
.
Is that another pretendy-controversy like the one over Kate posting a “coquettish” photo of herself fully-clothed, thus injuring the sensibilities of a woman who seeks out graphic, nude videos of teen mothers in childbirth?

–
Hey, how come Kate from Kate plus 8 got a finish time of 4:59? I thought the finish cut-off was 4:30.
–
Jennifer xxxx It was 4:30 time limit starting with the last person who started the full marathon. So if Kate (or anyone) was in a coral near the front, she would have had more than 4:30 to finish b/c the cutoff clock didn’t start ticking until the last person started the race.
–
Daniel L How long did it take her to get to the start? What was her time for the half? If she was treated “special” than phooey on this marathon!
–
Alisha N I don’t think that’s true, I got sick along the way causing me to have a horrible run and finished the marathon in 5:17. I think you just had to finished the first half of the course in 2:15 so they could open back up the roads. The second half was the same as the half marathon course and they had I think 5hrs to finish
–
Maggie C I do believe there were only 8 corrals for the full. She shouldnt have been in one of the first corrals with her time, nor should it have taken 30 mins for 8 corrals to cross. I passed the start in the half after 20 mins in corral 14. Doesnt add up.
–
Daniel L I’m sorry you got sick. I have friends that didn’t go because of the 4:30 cutoff. If Kate had a 2:15/2:44 split that is fine with me.
–
Gloria T I contacted Competitor beforehand and the cutoff was mostly regarding the first half. They wanted marathoners to finish the first half at a 4:30 pace (so in approximately 2:15) so that they could open those roads up. And as Jennifer said, that limit starts when the last person crosses the start line. The second half didn’t comply with the 4:30 limit because the strip was open to all runners. Hope that makes sense.
–
Carla F I was near the 1/2 finish when she finished so our videos are close. It’s looks like she started about 10 minutes after gun time. Yes, the time limit was mainly for the 1st half. There was much discussion prior to the race that this was what mattered. Several finished after 5 hours.
–
Janice T I finished at 5:01, just after Kate. At the half I was still on pace to finish on time. I had read (here, I think) that the cut-off was only enforced until we merged at the halfway point. I was sick and dehydrated but since I made it past that point of course I kept going. I was finishing no matter what. After the halfway point, in all the madness, there was no way to single out marathon runners and remove them from the course anyway.
TCparra: Do you think that Coupon Cabinet gave Steve a cubicle next to Kate’s?
.
In the midst of the more serious comments on this thread, TCparra, this one made me LOL. I would bet even Steve would chuckle at that one.
I really am not to up on some of this but I thought it was Coupon Cabin….Cabinet makes more sense, I guess.
“During an interview with Good Morning America, Jon explained that he believes the affair may actually be true. “I speculate, but I don’t know – that’s a general feel,” he shared. So what would make him believe that his ex-wife is sleeping with her bodyguard? “You know, almost like when they were traveling together, I felt jealous. Here I’m Mr. Mom. And then there’s some other guy traveling with my wife,” Jon Gosselin shared about Kate’s relationship with the bodyguard. “Whether it’s protection or not, it’s all in — it’s in the back of my mind.”
.
Jon was jealous and resented being Mr. Mom so he started partying and sleeping around. When he got caught he tried to justify it by accusing Kate of an affair.
.
tc – Your line “that’s drama blog material” is so lame since you post at hate sights that make up things all the time. The crap they are spewing claiming Kate cheated shows they are CRAZY. They claim this is coming form Las Vegas based on a fake facebook account. Geez

Great comment Ann ~: )
Look how bold Lily has gotten:
.
“Lily Websterposted toRock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon & 1/2 Marathon
Re: “runner” – Kate Gosselin
Kate didn’t run the race. She was on the sidelines and riding to the checkpoints on someones tomos scooter and at every checkpoint, the announcers gave platitudes to Kate and none of the other runners. It was a paid appearance to garner support for a race and a charity that isn’t a 501c3 organization. Her bodyguard didn’t walk the entire course carrying a pink handbag. He was on a scooter pacing her for 3 miles and then picking her up and pacing the race to keep the shoe tag legit. When they came to a checkpoint at 500 feet, Kate jumped off as the crowd and contestants were too busy to notice. Kate made all the check points. She actually completed the marathon but she didn’t do it toe to heel.
Kate was paid to attend, RnR posted her picture on their facebook page in an attempt to lend some credence to the event however the event was a total cluster fuck. After the event, Kate was walking around away from the contestants and stayed clear of Steve. It was NOT a sanctioned race and it was NOT what Kate will lead you to believe. The entrance fee was paid by an LLC and not connected to her publicist however her publicist was there. her bodyguard paced the entire race on a scooter and was there at many points during the race with Kate at his side while the committed runners made their trek. The marathon was a total scam, Kate paid to attend, barely participated and will use this for media attention.”

Wow Pam, ~I am astonished that ANYONE would go that far in their crazed mind to try and discredit someone!!
It really is Unbelievable!
I have said many times over since I have been around the Gosselin blogging scene that nothing the Kate haters do could surprise me anymore.
I am full from eating those words.
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.
They are that hateful and that Jealous over Kate running and finishing the Marathon.
Can you imagine what these people are capable of doing to the people in their life?
No one needs a degree to see they are certifiably scary insane!
Wow, attacking a mom of 8 and trying to discredit her achievement. So petty.
I have to laugh at #158, this marathon has been running since 1967 and attendance is always high but they needed to use Kate Gosselin to garner credence? Laughable!!! The lengths the haters will go to is astonishing. 44K runners alone plus spectators and no one would notice her riding on a scooter yet they paid her to come in? Come on!! Work on your stories people!! It’s a marathon, she did it, get over it already. I wonder why they NEED her to have not done it???

Pam I copied those comments from the facebook page about the marathon.
Wow, I am truly disgusted. Lilly Webster is in need of mental help. How in the heck could anyone ride a scooter when the runners have stated how crowded it was? How could Kate “lend some credence to the event” when this was her first marathon? Why would anyone believe this obvious made up story?
I love how haters call Kate narcissitic and say she makes everything about HER. They make it about her all day long!
No one was paid ~ but every runner paid a fee to be in the Marathon.
Everyone volunteered from the bands to the people on the side lines ETC.
Great post at #165 Marnie!
Thanks Peggy. These people’s imaginations need work and so does their storytelling. Paid to come in, gave her accolades at check ins but it was too busy that no one noticed or had ample opportunity to take a couple photos of her on this scooter? COME ON!!
The haters can not accept ~Kate proved them WRONG!
The haters claim Kate lies using crap they made up in their minds (thanks for the line tc). What they have done since the marathon is prove they are the real liars. It is mind boggling they will stoop to this level just because Kate proved them wrong. They are pathetic losers.
