This is what I'd like to hear Kate explain.
However, I must also say, I didn't see anyone in that video looking exhausted as they crossed.
Wonder who that man is that Kate goes to hug right after crossing the finish line?
I read this in a comment on one of the links shared on here. Can't prove it is true but thought I would share.
"They are not a volunteer organization; it is their business to put on these races. Kate was invited by Competitor to be a 'celebrity participant' which means she was paid to be there. Runners complained about the attention shown towards Kate by the announcers along the race venue."
However, I must also say, I didn't see anyone in that video looking exhausted as they crossed.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Look at the guy in the blue shirt, limping. Look at the guy in all black, walking like his legs are killing him. Look at the girl in the blue shirt (right before Kate). Look at the guy in back of Kate and her entourage, putting his arm around another runner. They all look totally spent.
That man is Rod Dixon, a very accomplished runner in his time and now does a lot of speaking and mAkes appearances at random events. I met him when I ran the royal Victoria marathon a couple years ago. Very sweet man, I thought it was hilarious that Kate ran to hug him like they had been friends forever.

+++++
I see at least ten that look totally unspent. It must be a matter or what one is looking for.
I think Rod Dixon actually lived in the Reading area (think he lives in KY now) and I believe he is from New Zealand originally.
She probably thinks she has a "special connection" or something.
The man Kate Gosselin is seen hugging is a New Zealander olympic athlete and marathon runner named Rod Dixon. (There are pics of them at the event). She tweeted a thank you to him for his advice and said she'd be seeing him in he "knows which city". Guess that means Kate is planning another vacay getaway from the kids under the guise of teaching them another life lesson. She's truly disgusting.
I hate conspiracy theories.
I remember after 9/11 there was a group who believed that the US was responsible for the Twin Towers and Pentagon being attacked. They showed pictures for weeks, months, and now it's been years. People stared at the pictures and couldn't see what the conspiracy gang saw and could never convince them otherwise either.
Ten years later and they still believe it. Look at the who Killed Kennedy theories.
Whether Kate cheated or didn't, and although it's not nearly as big a deal as 9/11 or Kennedy's assassination, most who believe she cheated will always believe she did. Most who don't believe it won't change their minds either.
Sigh. This will now come up and be argued about for hours and hours and debated as long as Kate's around and afterwards too.
There have been a lot of interesting comments the last couple of days.
At the risk of beating an already dead horse to death, I just have to say that I finally mentioned some of this to my sister-in-law. She and my brother-in-law have been running for the last 6 or 7 years, and they have even gotten the kids involved. They do triathlons also, and just a few weeks ago, she completed a 44 mile bike race for charity with my ten year old niece and a bunch of her fellow girl scouts and their moms. (Man, that's a LOT of miles for kids, wow!)
So, anyway, I had her take a look at this:

(Part 2 of 2)
She said it really doesn't add up the way Ellen was being recorded as running the full marathon the whole time, but then it all changed and became a half marathon as soon as the race ended. She looked at all the times for the different splits (check in points).
So, she can't find an explanation for the fact that all three of them started a full marathon together and Ellen ran much faster - Ellen recorded a 5:46 mile at the half way point. Just look at that first set of numbers, how did Ellen then go to a 21:01 mile at the next split, 19.5 miles? That's the split she hit at 7:42:17, the same exact time as Khate and Paula, so it does look like she waited around for them.
Btw, if you look here: http://athlinks.com/search/athlete/Ellen%20Lamar and click on the other races Ellen did this year, she will she that she is no where close to a 5:46 mile. She's almost double that. Her races this year:
10Miles - 1:45:45 (10:34/mile)
Half Marathon - 2:23:13 (10:55/mile)
5K - 29:18 (9:25/mile)
5K - 29:30 (9:29/mile)
10K - 1:01:49 (9:56/mile)
Before the marathon was over, it was still tracking Ellen as doing a full marathon, getting to the 23.1 split along with Khate and Paula. But, at the end, it all changed over and said Ellen did a half marathon. Her numbers for that are even crazier - it takes her an hour and 33 minutes to do the first 5K (3 miles). That's a 30 minute mile, but interestingly, getting to the next point (10K), she picks up to a 12:22 minute mile where she synchs up with Khate and Ellen.
So, the theory that Ellen, (or Khate, wearing Ellen's tracker), checked in at the beginning of the full, but then waited and went over to the half starting point, does look very possible. Again, you just need to look at the wacked out times for Ellen - both in the first numbers reported (full marathon) and in her second set (final numbers, half marathon). They're all over the place.
It looks like all three checked in at the beginning of the full. "Ellen" was over at the half split at 5:27 pm, (when the tracking info changed her over to a half, it recorded her as starting the half at the 5:30 start time). At that point, "Ellen" hooked up with "Khate" and Paula, so they all hit the 19.5 split at exactly 7:42:17 and stayed in exact synch until the finish line.
Do people cheat at marathons? Yes, sadly, for whatever reasons. Is Khate a well-known, habitual liar? Yes. Was this race a totally too large, over-booked, unorganized, chaotic mess? Yes, from all the articles, blogs, Facebook, and message boards I've looked at. The vast majority of the runners say it was the worst race they ever participated in and they will never do it again. Was it possible for Khate and her new running "friends" to cheat. Yes, it was and I doubt anyone has an interest in looking into it. Especially since Khate was obviously there at the invitation of the event organizers, just to get some more publicity.
It's also interesting to read that many of the runners commented that the marathon organizers were very much interested in making this event huge - the most runners there, the first time at night. They were very much interested in creating a p.r. buzz, and they've stated they want even more people next year (going from the 44,000 they couldn't even handle to 60,000 or more). The press for Khate both before and after the marathon was clearly pre-arranged, and it's very telling that Rod Dixon was there to hug her at the finish line.
In the end, Khate can live with whatever lies she's perpetuating, along with the very long list of lies she already has built her crappy life on. I hope she does get more into running and goes away every month, because I "honestly" believe the kids are better off without her there, as that house must be a much happier place with a sitter and not Cruella de Ville.
On 9-11, building 3 imploded into it's own footprint.
There was no plane that hit that building.
If you didn't SEE what the "conspiracy nuts" saw, you are blind.
Btw, I just wanted to reply to this post from yesterday:
PaMa said... 72
I believe it was at her Penn State, Fayette, appearance that Kate first publicly mentioned that she was considering switching from the half marathon to the full marathon.
------------------------
You are right. Kate spoke at PSU on Thursday, November 3rd. Then, her very first mention of changing to a full marathon was two days later:
Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin
@CJWhodunit I'm hoping to do the full marathon instead of 1/2... But don't tell any1. Lol. Not positive yet
November 5, 2011 (4:28 PM)
And finally, can you even believe that she tweeted before 10 AM the day after the marathon that she was already back in heels? Okay, sure.
Sam, regarding the bibs: the full marathoners wear one color and the halfsies another. BUT if you are running the full marathon and don't cross the checkpoints by a certain time, you are then shuttled off to the half marathon route. However, both groups cross the same finish line. Plenty of opportunities to pull a fast one. I don't believe Kate ran a clean race; IMO, she lost the right to the benefit of the doubt thousands of lies ago. I could be wrong, but the times synched to the hundredth of a second are bizarre and suspect.
On the People Website they are doing a poll--Who is Over and Out in 2011? Guess whose name pops up first---KATE GOSSELIN. It is a poll, so if you are interested in voting go to the People website.
This is being "helped" at the finishing line.

NOT THIS: http://www2.brightroom.com/81841/59615
Mistake, I meant Building 7.
I just read over at Preesi's site that it looks like Julie Carson May was at the finish line with Steve:
http://preesi.lefora.com/2011/12/05/marathon-women-aka-its-a-small-world-after-all-aka/page5/#post97
It could be her. Whoever it is, I watched the video and looked the photo at Preesi's and the woman in the white jacket and headband was definitely with Steve, waiting for Khate. In the video, she was to the right side of the screen, behind the barricade, talking to Steve and someone running the event. It looks like they were telling her that Khate was coming through. She then goes around the barricade as Khate finishes, and Steve motions for her to come over to him as Khate's hugging her new BFF's. The woman is holding Khate's bright pink jacket that she had on before the race and after the race, (but not at the finish line).
I have been reading comments on here and elsewhere have not been commenting, as I do not like to accuse anyone of cheating. And I know, Admin asked to put the conspiracy theories to rest.
With that said, and considering Kate was sponsored for this event, grabbed 2 running partners late in the game, who were registered under HER agent, changed from half a marathon to full marathon very late in the game, the sudden change for Ellen to run a half a marathon with a full bib, the ongoing times of Paula and Kate with exact times throughout the course, I AM very suspicious,but could be wrong.
Kate has always taken every short cut known to mankind to make her life easier, while putting duties/responsiblities on others. With the show cancelletion and being offered a sponsorshipto run, after bragging for MONTHS about her experience running, I think a few things happened possibly- She wanted the sponsorship to keep herself relevant (she has no job except CC) and hired two running buddies and had her agent sponsor their trips to Vegas, is very good at putting guilt on other people, race was organized chaos, and took advantage of this situaition to make herself look competent. She has always bragged, but has never had anything to back it up. Me, me, me , I, I , I do all this for my kids, but has always relied on someone else to do the actual work, while claiming credit.
I think both of the ladies who ran with her are probably great women, but something got twisted in this whole debacle, and things just don't add up. Particularly Ellen going from full marathon, to half race with full registration, and Kate going from half a marathon to full marathon suddenly.....Never mind the exact times several times throughout the race. Kate is a lazy opportunist and I hope I am wrong about all of this. Although we have all seen Kate cut corners time and time again over the years, and delegating things, something seems very wrong here. If I am wrong, I am wrong. But this would not be the first time Kate took advantage of other people,... it is pretty much a lifestyle for her. And I will add this is just my opinion based on what I have read overall.
More importantly, the kids are left home alone once again for days at a time, so GO Mommy can seek more attention. Will this ever end? When will she ever be a Mommy and put these kids FIRST, the same kids who have made her a millionaire, and seem to always come second to her own glory time and time again.
BTW- Where is Hippie Chick these days? Hi if you are reading here!
My question is who the hell does Steve think he is at the finish line - he gets in the middle of the course where other runners are trying to get to their families? Why wasn't he held back with the rest of the crowd. She looks at Steve, but knows there are cameras - so no big hug there for him.
Steve looks like an idiot at the finish line; he's not a bodyguard, he's not a boyfriend. He's trying to look pertinent but it's hard when the brat you're babysitting won't pay attention to you because she's too busy patting herself on the back. Guess he gets treated like the rest of the hired help. Get a real job, Steve. You gave up your family for this idiot?
Ha ha, I just read Khate's latest fake coupon blog over at Preesi's site:
http://preesi.lefora.com/2011/11/02/kate-gosselins-got-a-new-job/page8/#post151
I think I saw it mentioned here earlier today and I have to agree - Khate did NOT write that blog and that's NOT her hand or her purchases in the photo! What fakery!! My gawd, EVERYTHING she does is fake, phony, and staged!
(Note: Excessive use of exclamation points is deliberate!!)
I remember after 9/11 there was a group who believed that the US was responsible for the Twin Towers and Pentagon being attacked. They showed pictures for weeks, months, and now it's been years. People stared at the pictures and couldn't see what the conspiracy gang saw and could never convince them otherwise either.

If you take the time to watch any of the documentaries out there, you may change your mind. Bush is guilty.
Regarding the pic of the Ulta purchases. Seems to me that was taken in the store. It must be the salesperson's hand. I see "Return" signs to the right of the pic. Kate probably said she needed to take a pic of the purchases with the coupons (before handing them over) for her Coupon Cabin blog.
So is Rod Dixon her new celebrity best friend ala Taylor Swift, the View ladies, etc? He's from NZ so Kate likes the Kiwis.
Whatever Kate did in the marathon, it's just a reason to show off and travel. I'm thinking she has plenty of money saved because this is a hobby even if she is sponsored. She can't make a living running marathons.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. And when has Kart done anything without receiving a paycheck, publicity or freebies? I wouldn't be shocked to find out that she did go into a porta-potty to hand off her running tag or sneakers. Maybe Steve stood outside the potty blocking the door. Everything she does is so scripted and fake. Nothing would surprise me.
Kate should put on a pair of sneakers and run around with her kids once in awhile.
Um, perhaps some people should find a 911 conspiracy blog? There are plenty of them.

Wow. The President ordered the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the White House, knowing that his wife and staff were inside the WH?

Kate spending even one minute inside a porta-potty sure would surprise the heck out of me!
This really isn't snark... I wonder why no Jamie for any of this running the marathon hoopla. While filming K+8, Jamie was in the picture a lot. This is a big deal for best friends who can both apparently travel at will away from their homes and kids.
Just wondering. It would seem like a great opportunity for best friend bonding and fun.
My guess is that Jamie has outlived her usefulness and has been replaced.
Blame Just Curious. That was the poster who brought it up. Ignorant statements need to be addressed. It was handled politely.

***********************************************
*le sigh*
SG, are you saying you really think Kate purchased this stuff? When and how she claims she did? How likely is that, given she hasn't been home for 8 days, blogged that she DIDN'T do Black Friday but did do Cyber Monday (i.e., wasn't in the stores), etc., etc.? I call BS, as with everything else she claims.
NLAN, what were you alluding to the day before the marathon about her Twittering? Been looking for your comment on this. Also, I have to agree with your analysis. I think this whole thing, especially the lead-up, which you documented so well in the last few threads, has been a full-on snow job. Her claims of running 13, then 18, then 20 miles, all within a few weeks' time AND at the same time she was also running off to NYC, off to Chicago, off to Australia. There simply are not enough hours in a day, and definitely not enough when you are also claiming to be raising 8 kids. Someone is still writing a script for her.
Makes you wonder what the next plot twist will be, doesn't it? Certainly, that's what Kate Inc. is counting on.
I bet Rod Dixon took a shower after hugging Kreider. She is affront to real marathoners whether she cheated (she did) or not. And no, she can't make a living running marathons, try as she might. There are works class runners who truly need the sponsorship. Why waste it on a cheating, slow-as-cold-molasses, vile snake who shouldn't be traveling much in the first place? For the negative publicity and blog hits? Will that generate interest for the races? Make them more money? No, especially with Kate's joke of an entourage. By her next marathon, interest will wane, since she's already a winner and all. Eye roll. The sad part is, if she had just run an honest half marathon by herself, without babysitters and fanfare, people would have been more impressed. Here's a challenge to Kate: go home to your kids, don't call the paps, be quiet and be a real mom. Give the babysitters a break and STFU. I'm a nonbeliever; can you prove yourself in the mom department?
That being said he is very intelligent - way over the heads of his peers (except in math due to the sequencing)
Pity Party,
Thank you!! I can't believe that I didn't realize this about my son. He is in 5th grade and really struggling with math. Of course, it's the sequencing! He was diagnosed with Asperger's in kindergarten. He is very high-functioning and very extroverted. It is really hard to see him struggle socially. He wants SO badly to make friends and we all know how cruel kids can be. :( Anyway, thanks for the insight.
I just wanted to comment on Khate's stupid "14 years my senior" remark:
As everyone's already said, it's so rude, but what else can be expected of Khate?
According to the race results, Paula is 51 and Ellen is 52, so Khate doesn'lt even have that right; they're 15 and 16 years older than she is.
Also, though, I certainly wouldn't brag at 36 years old that a 50 and 52 year old are better and faster runners than I am. Duh!
Plus, I have to say in the photos, the other two women actually look younger than Khate does, ha ha.
If you weren't an experienced runner, don't you think you'd be nervous whether or not you'd finish your first marathon? Would you declare that 'finishing is winning' before you finished? Maybe she was so cocky because she knew she'd cross that finish line one way or another. If so, she is so crazy.

Not really. Please stop right now. I know people who died in 911 and comparing any of this to Kate Gosselin shows HUGE disrespect to compare her to the 911 situation... Very very bad analogy even with a conspiracy theory... very tasteless.
"Blame Just Curious. That was the poster who brought it up. Ignorant statements need to be addressed. It was handled politely."

What needs to be addressed are those who ignore posting rule #3 by calling someone's comment ignorant.
In one of the photos it looked like steve had a camel back on. I wonder if he was personally responsible for Kates water. Perhaps his new name should be water boy.

NLAN, what were you alluding to the day before the marathon about her Twittering? Been looking for your comment on this.
---------------------
Sorry, Gift of grab! I was trying to catch up on comments and I knew I had seen a question to me, but I couldn't remember where. So, I just found did from a post you did yesterday:
Gift of grab said... 198
Hey, NLAN, where are you? You mentioned something yesterday about her Twittering being off in some way? What did you mean?
---------------------------
Hmm, you have to refresh my memory! I don't remember saying something about her Twitter. I haven't even been looking at Twitter much the last couple of days. Was it the day of the race when I commented about her photos that she tweeted? The "Go Mommy" (narcissistic) cake photo, and then the dumb t-shirt pre-marathon photo?
If that's it, I had commented that someone on Twitter discussed how the cake photo looked like it was taken right before the t-shirt photo, and was in that order in her Twitter photos, so there was speculation that SHE took the photo herself and that it was taken that day. BUT, someone else here (sorry, can't remember who) said that's not the case because the order of the photos just has to do with when she uploaded them to Twitter, not when she (or someone else) took them. I believe I did reply to that comment thanking the poster for the clarification.
Yikes, is that clear? Sorry for the confusion!
Is Kate back at home with the kids yet.? How long is she going to stay in LV.? I'm sure the 8 miss their mummy.
Drop the 9-11 topic thx
Troll feeding over and done : )
NLAN, I was referring to this comment:

On the thread before last.
This really isn't snark... I wonder why no Jamie for any of this running the marathon hoopla. While filming K+8, Jamie was in the picture a lot. This is a big deal for best friends who can both apparently travel at will away from their homes and kids.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
I think Jamie is done with Kate and Kate is done with Jamie. Jamie sold her out in the RV episodes (especially with her comments about Steve and Angelina Jolie, wow) and Kate can pretend all she wants everything is fine, but I doubt it is.
There's a pattern here, and everyone who doesn't toe the party line gets discarded. There's no reason Jamie would be any different. And it's better for Jamie emotionally anyway.
thought Christmas was for buying presents for others. According to Kate's Coupon blog, she bought items for herself.
&&&&&&&&
That's the first thing I thought. She can't even buy a few gifts for the kids before she gets distracted by something shiny and starts buying more crap for herself. And has been pointed out, it's NOT saving money when you get distracted by a shiny coupon and start buying things you never intended to. That's the greatest mistake people make with coupons, buying things they never set out to buy.
Wasn't it a travel blow dryer? I don't get that. There is not a Four Seasons on the planet that won't give you a blow dryer.
And it's better for Jamie emotionally anyway.
*****
Agreed. I wish Jamie did not allow her own kids to be filmed, although it wasn't extensive. I don't like that we saw Clay get handled by Kate's kids almost every time he was around them. I don't think that's worth taking her kids on free trips.
I think Jamie came across as down to earth and I think she tried to remain connected to the ever-dwindling person that Kate used to be (If you would have asked me if I thought Kate would turn into the person she is today when I watched the first and second season, I wouldn't believe it).
Thanks for asking NLAN, Gift of Grab, I was wondering about that myself.
I was going to say this earlier (but didn't) because I thought we were supposed to drop the subject of kHate cheating.
Seeing as how it is still being discussed, I will say that the accuracy of the times doesn't set right with me. And why would Ellen decide to run a half? She is an experienced marathoner.
Clay was bullied and Kate let it happen. Even though she didn't even witness what happened in Jamie's RV, she jumped to conclusions and decided it was all Clay's fault (even though what was filmed shows the sweet little guy doing....absolutely....NOTHING) and then ordered Jamie to keep Clay away from them. It's shocking that Jamie didn't give her a good ole fashioned smack down right there and then. How dare she. And it's not surprise to me that Kate's solution to problems is to just get rid of the problem, cut it out, discard it. Isn't that how she lives life? If you're not helping her or if you're causing the least bit of issues, you're cut.
There is a point in most people's relationship with a narcissist where you've had enough and the friendship is no longer giving back what you are putting in, if it ever was, and it was obvious that was Jamie's "ah-ha" moment as they say. She's gone, for good, and I hope she has peace and is surrounding herself with better people.
Admin, there's barely a decent hotel on the planet that doesn't give you a blow dryer right in your room. We travel the planet and don't take one because it's not needed! Plus, in other countries, one that is 110 volt won't work unless you buy a converter too, which is expensive and heavy. Not worth it. If you travel only in 110 volt areas and need a dryer, any dryer will do - they are all compact now! And wouldn't Ms. Frugal buy a dryer at Target or something - not Ulta, a specialty shop? She's so dumb.
Yes I'm aware most/all hotels have dryers. It was a crack at Kate's five star hotels.
In the www2.brightroom.com video, Kate is seen crossing over the finish line in one piece. You would think that she would be disheveled, and exhausted.
Didn't that liar claim that she needed to be helped across the line?
She just lies, lies, and lies some more.
I'm in the camp that says something fishy went on at the marathon. It's partly due to the strange numbers, the half marathon/marathon switch, the folks who say Kate was on the sidelines, and the chaotic marathon--but it's also my pure instinct.
Kate is not a worker; she's lazy. She's a known and proven liar, and she has no compunction about accepting glory she doesn't deserve. I believe she was pretending to be nervous in her tweets, but the day of the race, her shirt said it all. She KNEW she was going to "finish and win." Maybe Julie Carson May greased a few palms. Who knows? Kate needed a comeback. Shee needed to get rid of the "loser" image she'd developed... What better way to do it than to run--and "win" (as she declared)--a Vegas marathon?
Kate likes to reinvent herself.
* She's supermom (not).
* She's a great cook (not).
* She develops her own recipes (not).
* She's a hard worker (not).
* She's broke (not).
* She's honest (not).
* She doesn't bash Jon (not).
* She does it ALL at home (not).
* She's a martyr for the kids (not).
* She's organized (not).
* She gives back (not).
* She's a great speller (not).
* She's OCD (not if she went barefoot in NYC).
* She's an author (not of the better book, but she takes the credit).
* She has a better bra (not).
* She's not a dancer, but she'll give DWTS her all (not)
She's a marathon level runner? This is why I tend to believe NOT. If she is, I agree with whoever said she's cried wolf too many times for me to believe her.
Sorry, Admin. I guess I'm having a sense of humor failure or my snark meter is broken. Hubby is in England and I'm feeling sorry for myself. Boo hoo!
from Kate's blog:
I bought a travel blow dryer, a round brush, hot rollers and several other items I needed. When I checked out, I strategically planned my coupon use, which is a very important part of savings. Don’t use coupons randomly; think through how to pair specific coupons with certain products to maximize savings. Fortunately, the kind cashier allowed me to arrange, think and then rearrange my coupons to break up my sale into three different transactions. This way, I used all of my coupons!
******
Sorry, but this sounds useless to me. If I were interested in what she's saying, I would want some TIPS on how to strategize my coupon use. She just says to do it, not use them randomly. How helpful is that, really?
Turning one transaction into 3 separate ones so I can use the coupons? How do you decide when you need to do that? TIPS, Kate, TIPS. Got it?
This blog of hers is not for the novice couponer. It's for the people who already use the things.
Where's Hippie Chick? And Lake Up North?
Clay was bullied and Kate let it happen.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Are you calling the kids bullies? I mean, they kind of are. They learned it from their mother.
Hippie posted last week(?) that she had been in the hospital, but was feeling better. I'll email her and see what's up.
Clay was being bullied. Verb. The kids are bullies would be a noun.
I would never call the kids bullies even if they were. But, I think a lot of kids do bully at some point, and the question really is how is it handled by adults so they don't someday turn into the fiasco of adults who are on twitter.
And defending kids who are bullying is obviously not the way.
Turning one transaction into 3 separate ones so I can use the coupons? How do you decide when you need to do that? TIPS, Kate, TIPS. Got it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are right. Kate is clueless. I bet one of her fans told her about this.
If the coupon says something like save x% on purchase y amount and over you break up your transactions so your purchase price is always close to y amount as possible. This only works if you get free shipping with each order.

Yes I'm aware most/all hotels have dryers. It was a crack at Kate's five star hotels.
**********************************************
Your comment made me laugh! Only Kate would think to buy a dryer. Even if it's not the Four Seasons...most hotels have driers.
Okay, maybe not all that great but still. Just another object she has to have I guess.
This is the same woman who won't walk barefoot in hotels but will walk on a gas-station concrete because it's "less filthy"?? I never quite understood that.
Whether she did or didn't do the race honestly or whatever, is she home decorating her tree yet? I've had mine up all week. No the lights don't match, the ornaments are old and mismatched and a few of the branches are broken but that just means it's gotten good use I think!
the ornaments are old and mismatched
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But each ornament has a story to go along with it. Every year we unwrap the ornaments and remember who gave it to us. We also remember silly stories about that person. Its like an archeology dig.
How can you blame the kids for messing with Clay when their mother bullied their father. All their little lives?. Kids learn by example so.
It's good that the kids turned out as good as they did with a mother like Kate.Not to be mean but it's true.
@Virginia Pen Mom
With all her "renventing herself, isn't that something one does at oh I don't know...13 or 14? Admin is right Kate does seem stuck mentally. Adults don't usually need to try out all these different things in their 30s. Least I don't think so. Eh, I could wrong.
Admin said..I think Jamie is done with Kate and Kate is done with Jamie

I wonder if Jamie remembered to give back the diamond on the neckchain.

Will this be another 'gate' like Cupgate, Gumgate etc., how about Cheatgate, or Vagasgate?

NLAN, I was referring to this comment:
Nobody Likes a Narcissist (NLAN) said... 183
By the way, Khate's making a mistake on Twitter, but I'm not going to mention it until tomorrow.
December 4, 2011 11:55 AM
On the thread before last.
-----------------------------
Oh, okay, I remember now! It's funny that you ask because I just looked on Twitter to see if she ever got a clue and she still has not. Well, before, during, and after the marathon (even now as I type), everyone tweeting about the marathon in Las Vegas has been using "hash tags" (#). There are two phrases/hash tags that have been used in thousands of tweets over the last several days. It's a way of people connecting, and you can search that hash tag to see what people are saying. It's very often done with big events like this. Khate is so clueless.
You can see it here: Twitter search
Also, remember the running mom who tweeted Khate right before she went to Australia? She and another runner have a website and wrote a book about running, which she sent to Khate along with a free tee-shirt. Well, I saw the other day that she tweeted Khate the day before the marathon, but she had Khate's twitter name wrong (left out the "my" part, lol). She was hoping to connect with Khate at the event, they had a booth that they she wanted Khate to stop by, (more freebies for Khate, probably).I saw so many tweets from runners who only knew each other online, but were all making arrangements on Twitter to meet up in Las Vegas over the weekend. It would have been nice if Khate took a few minutes to meet her (and thank her for the freebies she had mailed her last month).
In addition to tweeting to Khate right before the marathon to cheer her on, she also tweeted a congrats to Khate later that night after the marathon was over. Of course, Khate didn't reply to her tweets, (and she had Khate's correct Twitter name by then).
Btw, she's an experienced marathoner and she also has talked about what a disorganized over-crowded, dangerous mess this marathon was. Also, she flew out of Vegas at dawn Monday morning and by 1 PM was tweeting that she had stopped off in a grocery store on her way home from the airport (and she joked that you know you're a mom when you do that). It doesn't sound like she has anything at all in common with Khate.
Marie, most people in their 30's are busy raising kids and making sure their kids are being set up with the right tools, physically and emotionally, to achieve THEIR dreams someday.
Chef I don't think anyone is blaming the kids for how they treated Clay. The blame is on Kate. And I have said many times that OVERALL these are good kids. They have their moments, but they really are not that bad at all. And a lot of their behavior stems directly from something Kate set up. They respond right away to adults who know how to handle them, Beth for one got Mady right in line. It's just Kate. All Kate.
True. I guess by the time I have kids I'll have learned from Kate it will never be about me, me, me it will be about giving your kids the ability to reach their own full potential and dreams.
Too bad Kate can't learn that from other mom's. Kate sort of strikes me as what one calls a helicoper mom or something similiar. Keeps kids together, is always having to be right there (Gymnastics and BBall game is one) she doles out their food, dresses them alike.
Bet you anything if an adult just had the gumption to say Cara you have two choices, you can sit at the table with Clay and play nicely, or you can wait patiently for him to finish playing there and then you can play at the table nicely. Or, you can go to your bed and be mad about it.
I'm betting she would have gone to her bed and sulked about it--for five minutes. Then she would have realized she's missing out on the fun and gone to go play with Clay nicely. This isn't rocket science.

Thanks for the update; much appreciated. Trying to keep up with the sites I enjoy in my spare time and not doing a great job of it.
Does this make anyone else feel like puking or is it just me:
MiloandJack Fired Up 4 Kate
@Kateplusmy8 Gnite Kate..may U continue 2bask in the inner joy&satisfaction that comes from another goal U have achieved in life! Well done!
I don't know if it's something you learn exactly. It comes naturally that you just want your kids to be happy and achieve the goals they want to achieve. That makes a parent feel good, like they've, heck, run a marathon. Good parents feel satisfied and happy knowing their kids are satisfied and happy and aren't constantly looking to fill up some void. A parent can and SHOULD have a life beyond their dreams for their kids, of course. But it should not be at the EXPENSE of putting your kids first. Don't feel like putting kids first all the time, don't have them.

Yes exactly how I feel
Not Perfect, Cara is a good kid. She responds well to adults who care. Actually, they all do.
Nope, Admin, the proper procedure is to get out a wooden spoon and whack her in the bathroom. Then tell her how embarrassed she makes me. Then toss my hands up in the air and say "sheesh, every DAY with that child!" and make everyone within earshot believe I have the most stressful life EVER, but still I am an 8 sparkly star mom.
Tweet-le De: No, you are not alone. This is one sheeple who will NEVA be convinced that her Katie Irene is anything less than a perfect mother/person/whatever Kate claims to be. Cloying sycophant is way too mild a descriptor for milo, I am not sure there is anything quite apropos in English to describe this level of blind devotion. I just hope she doesn't vote.
NLAN, thanks. Hash tags are sort of out of my purview since I don't use Twitter and tend not to take note of them. I have noticed Kate's fans are always trying to get something Kate-related to "trend," generally with little success. Thankfully.
I really don't think Kate is home yet. If she were, we would be hearing all about the kids being so excited to see her, so proud of her, and thanking her for running in a marathon for them.
Annie2 ..But each ornament has a story to go along with it. Every year we unwrap the ornaments and remember who gave it to us. We also remember silly stories about that person. Its like an archeology dig. -----
You are so right! Such a pure joy every year while unpacking all of the ornamnets - such wonderful memories... Love my Christmas tree, for the memories alone. Very precious to me with all of the people/memories attached.
Milo sounds like that crazy stalker fan every celebrity is afraid of.
I believe all the kids are good-). Esp going through what they have been through they are darn tough as well.
@Annie2...you are right! Was very nice too.
I so wish Kate wouldn't hit her kids. I don't think it teaches them one thing other than, "I'm bigger than you so I can." I know sounds really stupid coming from me with no kids and in college but...and not saying parents don't lose their tempers but I thought the way Kate handles situations just makes them worse caring on like that at the RV trip. How dumb.
Just me having a random thought here, but isn't the name Katie more of an Amish thing? I know she isn't Amish but is that just a common name in PA? Katie? I would have thought her name would be Catherine. I thought Katie was a nickname.
Speaking of her half lit, undecorated Christmas tree, I'm surprised she doesn't use a service for that. She pays people to do everything else, and them takes the credit - "sitters", cooking, cleaning, yard work, pool, "laundry girl" (yet she blogged and tweeted about her laundry "system" and all the laundry she has - yes, she has a system with rigid rules for the help to follow).
I would never use such a service because like some of you have said, it's such FUN to go through all the ornaments and decorations with the kids. Drag out all the boxes, turn some Christmas music on, and go crazy. It's a tradition we all look forward to in my home, as I'm sure the rest of you do. As the kids gets older, it's more and more fun to rediscover those cute ornaments they made in pre-school, kindergarten, etc. My husband and I also each have a few ornaments from when we were kids, and our parents gave us each some of favorite Christmas decorations they had back when we were kids. I love that stuff so much.
But, Khate likes to have other people do everything for her. I know people with the financial means that have a service come every year to put all the lights on the outside of the house, and they set up the tree (will use your fake one, or provide a fake one, or bring a real one - most have MULTIPLE trees in their house). They will bring their own decorations or use yours, and then they come back in January and pack it all up for you.
I would never want to do it that way, but it totally seems like something Khate would do. I never watched the show - was their house all decked out on Christmas episodes? I'm sure TLC arranged it back then.
I could see Khate having that kind of service at the house while she was gone, and then shortly after she gets home she'll act like supermom by tweeting photos about her hard work and how nice the tree and and the house look. I remember she was proud of what she called Halloween "decorations", but I thought the picture she tweeted was rather said and pathetic. She also said in those tweets that she hates that chore, but the kids get so excited over her Halloween decorations - hmmm, but they don't get excited over their costumes and getting to go Trick or Treating?
I was looking at Brooke Burke's Twitter recently and she tweeted a photo of her Thanksgiving table all set for 22 family members. Khate TALKED about getting ready for Thanksgiving, but it's funny how she had no photos of the table all set, or of the feast she had prepared. Her blog totally sucked when it came to Halloween and Thanksgiving. It's just a horrible, useless blog. Kind like she's a horrible, useless "mom"
"Cloying sycophant is way too mild a descriptor for milo, I am not sure there is anything quite apropos in English to describe this level of blind devotion. I just hope she doesn't vote."
----
I wonder what Milo is going to do when Kate closes her twitter account and goes into obscurity. Will she commit herself to a mental health unit, or will she latch on to an up and coming star? She obviously needs someone on whom to shower her affections and persistent, undying devotion. Obviously her hubby doesn't provide her with this release.
Should be interesting to watch. Maybe next time she picks a A-lister for her stalking pleasure, although I couldn't imagine anyone in their right mind giving her the time of day.
Hell no, Kate's not home. Are you kidding me? Tomorrow is Wednesday, if she stays just a few more days "recuperating" at the Four Seasons, she can even miss the babysitter handing off the kids to Jon for the weekend and fly home to an empty house.
I'd be freaking dying to see my kids before this point. Yes, it's nice to get a break as a mom here and there, especially I'm sure if you have a ton of kids, but most parents MISS their kids and actually want to see them.
Oh about that running lady who sent Kate some gifts and tried to meet up with her in LV: I'm quite sure Kate is very bad about thank yous, and I bet she's burned more bridges than she even realizes with her thanklessness.
@89...She obviously needs someone on whom to shower her affections and persistent, undying devotion. Obviously her hubby doesn't provide her with this release.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
She has a husband? Given her gushing and ecstatic foaming at the mouth over Kate, I thought that she was...um...well, you know.
I have a quick OT question, if that's okay. I know we have several RN's who post here - is there something available over the counter for pink eye? Never a dull moment in this house, let me tell ya! Thanks!
You can buy Similasan Pink Eye Relief but it isn't a substitute for antibiotic eye drops.
Polysporin drops over the counter here in Canada. Not sure about the US.
@NLAN, probably not my place to say anything, there is no over the counter for treatment since it is a viral, over the counter eye drops or prescription eye drops can be used to help clear redness.
My best advice is go to a clinic that is open. Most pink eye that I have experienced tend to clear up within at least 2 weeks give or take.
Sorry if I've probably intruded.
@PJ's Momma...I didn't think anybody would miss my absense. I've been hanging back here and there. Just minding my own business these days.
But what is all the fuss about buying white lights now? Don't most people already have theire Christmas lights? Can usually get good use out of lights for oh...a few years. Don't tell me Kate's never had to buy her own lights before?! Not that I'd be surprised here.
And why would Kate absolutely need Steve to wait for her at the finish line? I don't think anybody would really bother Kate all that much with the marathon from sound of it. It makes her look like a complete fool if anything else. Self-importance isn't pretty. But it's her game I guess.
Hey Kate, my friend and I saved over $120 with 1 Macy's Family/Friends 25% off coupon on top of their in store sale on Sunday, beat that.
Regarding the kids, my cousin has a little bit of narcissism in her, not crazy like Kate, enough that I don't have a relationship with her. I have very good relationships with her kids from both her marriages. The youngest from 2nd marriage was woefully neglected and he used to destroy his mother's clothing acting out. His sister from the previous marriage became his "mom" & raised him with her own children when she got married young. I had dinner with them a few years ago WITHOUT the cousin when I was in their town for business. I asked him to put away the playstation & enjoy his meal with us. I gave everyone equal amount of attention with serving of the food. His sister tells me later that was the most food she has ever seen him eat. She later tells me that his eating habits and grades have improved and he matured into the helpful little brother. I totally that the child just needs someone to show them some care & a little guidance.
Oh I just had a thought! But then I lost it coming over here. Give me a minute...
Okay, now I remember. Okay, since Kate has been vertually silent on Twitter this means she can't possibly be home. Isn't that how it usually is with her? When she is gone with Steve or somewhere else she is quiet. Because she doesn't need her sheeple? And then when she is home she tweets anyone who will listen to her! Argo she's still in LV or landed in NY and decided to stay a few extra days. Bet that blow-dryer will come in handy!
Sorry, over-loaded end of term finals has fried my brain.
Hiya Lake! Happy to see you back. How's the new baby doing?
Beth, jennaluna, and Lake - thanks for the answers. Yes, I should have known it's viral, which means antibiotics required, which means we'll need a doctor's appointment ASAP tomorrow. Lol, I was so hoping it wasn't pink eye, totally in denial, but no such luck. Oh what fun. At least it happened a couple of weeks before Christmas, I guess. There's time to get it taken care of and cleared up before a gazillion little kids/relatives could catch it. Sigh. Thanks again!
Hippie Chick is in hospital currently. Something about her nerves. Major depression and anxiety from pain of some kind. Thoughts are with her.
Viral actually means no antibiotics are required. Antibiotics wont help and the overuse of them is the cause of super bugs like MERSA. Antibiotics should only be used on bacterial infections. The only medication that works on viruses is antiviral medication. An example of an antiviral medication is Tamaflu. Its used to reduce the duration of the flu by about one day.
100.....pls send my good thoughts and vibes to your friend Hippy Chick. Hope she get well super fast.
I just read up on pink eye (conjunctivitis). I didn't realize that it could viral OR bacterial. All I knew was that it's highly contagious. It said that viral pink eye will clear up in a few days, but bacterial pink eye needs antibiotic drops.
The one thing that I try not to Google is medical stuff, because by the end of reading something, I'm convinced serious illness or death is imminent. It's mostly been when my dogs have had medical problems that I've researched online, and scared the living crap out of myself.
Okay, calling the doctor first thing in the morning. It's just more a nuisance than anything else. I only had pink eye once, when I was about 6 years old and I still remember waking up from a bad dream in the middle of the night with my eyes sealed shut and screaming that I was blind. My husband somehow got pink eye about 5 years ago the day before we were leaving for a vacation. Oh, that was fun. We managed to get Rx eye drops without an office visit since he couldn't leave work and wouldn't be home until late, and we were leaving first thing in the morning. Things always happen at the wrong times. Kind of like the time our new puppy and our other dog both got some crazy illness and were up all night puking the day before we left for vacation. Damn, did that create chaos and cost us a fortune, (had to change vacation plans). Okay, I'll stop now, lol.
I'm really sorry to hear about Hippie Chick. I hope she's okay, she'll be in my thoughts.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Hippie Chick. Get well soon !

In the www2.brightroom.com video, Kate is seen crossing over the finish line in one piece. You would think that she would be disheveled, and exhausted.
Didn't that liar claim that she needed to be helped across the line?
She just lies, lies, and lies some more.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I noticed the same thing. And she ran and gave a great big hug to that marathon guy like they have been besties forever. I think he's the trainer she supposedly didn't have.
Hippie Chick- Hope you are feeling much better very soon! Will keep you in my prayers.

Thanks for asking NLAN, Gift of Grab, I was wondering about that myself.
I was going to say this earlier (but didn't) because I thought we were supposed to drop the subject of kHate cheating.
Seeing as how it is still being discussed, I will say that the accuracy of the times doesn't set right with me. And why would Ellen decide to run a half? She is an experienced marathoner.
______________________
EXACTLY, Bearswife...why would an EXPERIENCED marathoner decide to run a half and a NOVICE like Kate decide to run a full.
Thanks to NLAC for her well-documented, well-thought-out FACTUAL comments. I've read all the comments here and at many other sources I found by Googling, and I have NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER in my mind that Kate cheated. I hope that the people who have said they are going to come forward have the courage to do so, because, JUST ONCE, I would like to see this habitual liar get caught cold in her lies.
Kate is a MARATHON LIAR, if not a (FULL) MARATHON RUNNER. The little boy who hollered "wolf" eventually got caught, and so will you, Kate.
Did anyone else notice how 'many' boxes of 300 light thingies she had to have when she finally found them? She must have a really tall tree. Life's a real bitch when tlc quits doing your holiday decorating and furnishing all the trimmings and gifts (and guests).
Re: her finishing the race...anyone can have their pic taken at the finish line, doesn't mean they actually ran the whole thing. And it still doesn't make sense that two 'real' marathoners would be willing to 'dumb down' their time to accommodate her. Amazing what some people can be PAID to do.
Preesi's site had an interesting post about Kate riding a scooter between checkpoints. Although that wouldn't explain how she and the two bff's managed to get identical times down to the 1/100th of a second multiple times.
Hippie Chick, I'm sending you a get well wish. Look forward to reading your comments here again.
Mel 109. She still could have gotten scootered to the check points and all 3 could have stepped on the mats at the same time. I, too, am hoping that those who witnessed whatever stunts (if any) Kate, Paula and Ellen pulled come forward and bust them.
Hippie Chick, I also hope you are back home soon and feeling better...miss seeing your posts! Judy

____________
I saw that post at Preesi's and RWA but the links are just general links and the specific comment is now buried somewhere among 100s of other more recent comments.
I'd like to see who made the original. Without being able to verify it, it is conjecture to me. It's too bad more specific information wasn't given when the post was made at RWA.
I am wondering a couple of things. How do we get definite account of her cheating? and Why are there no pictures of the kids during this time at the bus stop, or house? Guess Steve has been the pap the entire time.
Hi again.
Regarding the Ulta pics. I really don't know when Kate would have taken them. She was home for a few days between Australia and Las Vegas and I recall someone tweeted they saw her out shopping wearing heels (after she claimed she was resting her feet for the marathon).
I'm not saying it means Kate took the picture for sure. I'm only pointing out that they seem to have been taken in the store and since Kate (or whoever was taking the picture) was behind the camera that wouldn't have been their hand in the photo.
As for the travel blow dryer, I agree, who in this day and age buys a travel blow dryer? Although maybe it's one of those ionic ones that are supposed to reduce frizz; they do make them in travel size.
Get well soon, Hippie Chick!
Hey Kate, now I understand your tshirt! It says 'Finishing Is Winning' rather than 'Trying your hardest to finish is winning' or 'Not cheating is winning' or 'Actually running is winning'. Got it, you wrinkly necked fool. And thanks for pretending to run the marathon for us nonbelievers. Your cheating validated so much of what we dislike about you.
Where's Waldo(Kate). Did she abandoned her kids? She really can't stand to come home...must be her last trip for a while. She showed up 4 days earlier for this marathon...now she's 3 days over the marathon...wonder if she is still traveling. It must be nice to be wealthy.
I was trying to stay away from the conspiracy theory, but the more I think about it, she is just too blase' about the whole thing, now that it is over. If she had done that on her own without they would have had to cart her out of there in a wheelbarrow. We have seen her after the runs at home. She looks she is on her last leg. She wasn't about to mess up her pre-planned photo op at the end by actually running that the entire thing. It seems to me she met up with these people that know how to run marathons without having to work so hard and assured her that they could get her through. That is why the big jump from a half to a whole seemingly overnight overnight. What a nightmare that must have been for the people who did work hard and the focus on the whole race was on KT and the photo op at the end. I'm not sold totally, but if I was in the race and saw someone doing that I would shout it from the rooftops. Maybe more people will come forward. I can't believe she tweeted that she was still basking in it (guess that is why she hasn't come home yet) and that she was in heels the next day. I guess she sold herself to them by saying no one creates more buzz than me and of they all obliged - Radar, the works.
Sorry for the sloppy post - I do not like my new gadget.
So where is Kate my bet NYC.
Did anyone else notice how 'many' boxes of 300 light thingies she had to have when she finally found them?
-----
She didn't find them. She grifted them. Her hair stylist got them for her.
I'm trying to make some sense about this whole possible cheating thing. I'm not sold on it, but don't want to ignore it either.
Couple questions:
1) Is is possible Kate signed up for the whole and Ellen signed up for the half, and then they switched chips?
2) Is it possible that this Ellen person wore all 3 chips, and that's why all three times are the exact same?
I'm not a runner and am not comprehending how this cheating thing was allegedly pulled off ( if it's true ).
I'm embarrassed to ask, but can someone dumb this down for me so I can understand what others are seeing that I don't see?
FYI...
I think Kate referrenced being back in heels because she was trying to be all Katie Holmes.
There's a picture of ratclaws glaring at the camera with a big navy backpack/duffel slung over his shoulder at the beginning of the race. This thing is shaped like a camel's hump: quite tall. I wonder if this is what the bag that holds a folded motorized scooter looks like? Anyone know??
I don't know who this reality star is but boy does she ever have some good common sense.
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/12/07/imogen-thomas-reality-tv-star_n_1133429.html
Reality TV stars don't deserve privacy, according to Imogen Thomas.
The Welsh glamour model, who rose to fame during the seventh series of Big Brother, claimed that celebrities who use the press to their advantage should not complain when the media attention sours.
Speaking at a Huffington Post UK soapbox event at the Westfield shopping centre, east London, Thomas said that celebrities who misbehave shouldn't get privacy because they are role models.
"If you are a celebrity role model you should at all times be aware of your actions and know that the media will report it," said the 29-year-old.
"Ultimately their actions can affect the children who look up to them. Also why should the public be fooled by a squeaky clean image if they are not that person?"
Thomas had an affair with Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs, but is barred from speaking about it by a court injunction.
"I believe when a reality star opens their doors to the extent that they do, they cannot complain the next day if something bad is written about them," she added.
"I think I can talk on both sides of this discussion, because six years ago I came out of the Big Brother house. I used to crave the press attention, and played the media to my advantage, creating lots of opportunities for myself within TV and modelling.
"I also realised at this point I cannot therefore switch the press attention on an off when I pleased. Now six years on I'm being pursued by the media but for something totally different to being a reality star. I now have no control on what the media write about me," she said.
Please, please, please! let Kate do something different - do the laundry the wrong way, lift a recipe and post it as her own, wear hooker heels to Target, pack the wrong thing in her kids' lunches, tweet 20 times in one night, SOMETHING!!!, that will cause people to move on!!
It's not uncommon for runners to have the same time -- it occurred several times in this race. It happens in high school cross country races. Kate's chip was on her left foot and Paula's on her right. Actually Kate crossed the line first, but since her chip was on her back (left) foot, and Paula's on her front (right) foot they got the same time. Paula's time was in her range as a marathon runner.
Kate ran the race. That's a great achievement for anyone! Get over it ... Move on the Holidays are upon us! Enjoy!
Kate ran the race??? Yeah O.K.....And I'm 21 with a tight ass!!
Knowing how brazenly and unabashedly Kate lies, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if she ran a half but is claiming a whole.
All the tweets about being so nervous that she's running a full marathon now were too weird. She kept saying over and over how scared and nervous she was and that's not really in character for her. I tend to think she wasn't really running more than 13-15 miles at home, that she never ran those longer runs she claimed to on twitter.
She didn't know how to train properly because she didn't NEED to know how to train properly. This wasn't about doing something and doing it well and properly, this was about, as always, attention. Period.
Problem is, if she really does sign up to run other races (and it sounds like she has), she's either going to have to work out the same deal, or run a half and claim some injury or something. She's stuck.
That latest tweet of hers bugs me, too. She's focusing on what's next. Why do I get the strange feeling "what's next" has nothing to do with her kids? I'm sure she means what's next for HER.
And good point made by some of you that she refuses to go back to nursing because she claims it would take her away from her kids too much. What the hell is happening now? I guarantee you if she were nursing, she'd have seen her kids WAY more in the last month than she has! No, everyone knows she's allergic to hard work (another support for the cheating argument) and nursing is about the patients, not lassoing the spotlight onto yourself. She'd probably rather cut off her arm than go back to nursing, the kids have nothing to do with it.
And I'm 21 with a tight ass!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Depends on what base you are counting in. I have a friend that is always 26 or 27 depending on the base he is count in. I am sure that the same applies to pant sizes.
Regarding Kate needing help to get across the finish line, I dont think she is lying. The excitement of finishing plus the momentum keep you going for a minute, but once you stop running all the muscles lock up, its horrible.
the finish chute in these runs is really long, that is what she is probably talking about. After she crossed and hugged all those people she probably did need help walking off. All people who are not elite runners are always limping off after the marathon.
Its clear she was there as a VIP though, the fact that Steve was waiting for her right at the finish line makes that clear. People are not allowed in that secure runners finish area. There is a really long area that is fenced off so when runners finish they walk through it to get their medal, mylar blanket, food, water and then eventually they exit to where everywhere is waiting.
Kate ran the race. That's a great achievement for anyone! Get over it ... Move on the Holidays are upon us! Enjoy!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I believe that you omitted a preposition in that statement. Kate ran IN the race. How much of it she actually ran is anyone's guess, and if she didn't complete the entire race as she has led everyone to believe, then it's not a great achievement. It's deception.
Will the truth ever come out? Not unless there are witnesses who took photos of her standing with Steve on the side, or of her riding a scooter or bus.
So...Kate....how 'bout it? Set the record straight! You 3 ladies go on GMA and demonstrate the 3 of you matching to 1/100th of a second your paces....9 times in a row.
If nothing else, this would be another way for you to escape your children and get some more freebies. And you could get your friends some of the freebies, too. Like you promised them.
Prove us doubters wrong! Tell us how and why Ellen's chip went so crazy between the half and the full. The truth, not your usual word games.
Don't give us your usual boatload of stuff that could be true but isn't.

Okay, calling the doctor first thing in the morning. It's just more a nuisance than anything else. I only had pink eye once, when I was about 6 years old and I still remember waking up from a bad dream in the middle of the night with my eyes sealed shut and screaming that I was blind. My husband somehow got pink eye about 5 years ago the day before we were leaving for a vacation. Oh, that was fun. We managed to get Rx eye drops without an office visit since he couldn't leave work and wouldn't be home until late, and we were leaving first thing in the morning. Things always happen at the wrong times. Kind of like the time our new puppy and our other dog both got some crazy illness and were up all night puking the day before we left for vacation. Damn, did that create chaos and cost us a fortune, (had to change vacation plans). Okay, I'll stop now, lol.
I'm really sorry to hear about Hippie Chick. I hope she's okay, she'll be in my thoughts.

-------------------------------------------
Maybe you should stop going on vacations! :-) And ditto about H.C. And I hope Paula and Ellen don't get "tarnished" or harassed by association with the Wicked Witch of the East.
I think what we have here is the story of the boy who cried wolf. Historically, Kate is not a truth teller. If she did, in fact, run the entire race and did it legitimately, there will be those who are skeptical because she has lied in the past and has been caught at it.
I made a post earlier (perhaps in the last thread?) that I doubted Kate would go home directly from LV...that she would probably squeeze in a trip to LA first as long as she was out west. I could be wrong; perhaps she needed to stop in NY first. Either way, I said I doubted she'd be home before Friday, because she would need to make this an almost two-week getaway.
It's still two days until Friday. Surprise me and prove me wrong.
Race is over, lots of theories, what is telling now is that she is apparently still NOT HOME - not surprising but how utterly amazing the total amount of time she spends away from her children and their home. And when I think that Ms. Unemployed still has both Steverino and a publicist on the payroll, don't think her little CC job is going to make a dent in that. Oh, re: lights, daughter took a trip to Target yesterday, came back with twinkly lights, guess the shortage is over.
128- Kat-Hilarious!
129- Dallas Lady- Excellent Post! Bravo!
133-Mel- Classic!
137- No shortage of lights ANYWHERE I have gone. Guess when TLC no longer takes care of your every need, you have no idea how to manage anything. And need to grift to get your needs met.
It is kind of sad and pathetic, but mostly digusting. A Christmas tree for the kids SHOULD have been a priority for the kids and her butt should have found some rather than twittering her problem to others.
Can this woman manage to do one single thing for her kids without twittering or asking for help? She had plenty of time to visit well stocked stores to get lights for the tree. Just wasn't a priority.

I'm a long time reader, first time poster. I agree with whoever said that Ellen wore Kate's chip the entire time. I think that Kate was considering doing the half, then when the promoters (or her PR person) got wind of it, they asked her to do the full for publicity and offered to pay for it. I think she was nervous (but would never miss the opportunity for attention) and wouldn't do it without "support" so was hooked up with Ellen and Paula. I think she tweeted about her (fake) long runs to make everyone think she was really training, but all along knew she was doing just the half. I think in her mind it's not really cheating because she was asked and paid to be there and needed to do "whatever" to finish the job. It's really too bad that she has been so dishonest that everyone is questioning this (with good reason).
After being gone for a week, the poor baby is tired:

This is recycled bullcrap from Hollybaby, which has been notoriously wrong with its "sources" when it comes to both Jon and Kate. I give them no credibility anymore.
Plus, think about it-- what person who is close to someone who is in the tabloids would run to Hollybaby and gossip behind their backs? Is it a mole? Is it a plant? A fake friend?
Anytime the word "source" is used, I tune out, especially when it comes to Hollybaby. Both Jon and Kate have unequivocally denied their claims on several occasions.
In other news, I'm guessing that Kate is *still* not home
Tucker's Mom said... 148

I totally agree with you about HollyBaby. They just keep fabricating stories out of nothing.
Kate's exhausted now that she's home (and whenever she's home). Yeah, that's what happens when you come down off your high and get back to real life.
An entire week in Vegas to run a 5 hour race one day. What "single mom" does this?
She's so predictable, I should set my watch by her antics.
HollyBaby emailed me after I left a comment. They wanted more and more info and would accept anything I sent them. Nothing was made-up but it was information that hadn't previously been public.
They will post whatever they are told, truth or not.
Oh, Poor Kate is exhausted from her one-week vacay of partying, being seen, and boning Steve.
No, no, Tucker's Mom, an entire week to FAKE running a 5-hour race. Think of the planning and coordination involved--what a project for a "mastermind"!
I myself don't think she's home yet. And if she's somehow caught in this lie (doubtful), she'll comment that what she meant by "taking care of my kids" was constant calls with the nannies and housekeeper.
..Sick and tired said... 145 ..
I like this theory the best so far.
There's something fishy about the Penn State connection, but who knows what it is.
I kinda wonder if she'd been hooked up with them first for the running thing, and the invite to speak happened after.
Once again, Kate's telling things that could be true, but aren't. Or it's only true as far as it goes, and there's a lot more to go. Or it's only kinda sorta true, but mostly not.
Whatever she says is counting on the reader assuming certain things, and it's those things that aren't true. Her actual words are true, but not in the context that the reader thinks they are. Confusing, eh? That's what she's counting on.
I'd bet my house she's NOT home taking care of her kids. She threw that in that tweet because even Miss Oblivious has to know it looks pretty bad to still be gone for so long from her kids.
As I've said, she'll time her return home to coincide with the kids already being at Jon for the weekend.
If she already flew home, where are the pics one random pap always takes of her and her babysitter in the airport?
Yeah, that's what I thought. Like she'd race home from The Four Seasons.
I agree w/ those who do NOT believe she is home, yet. And my previous post might have been a little vulgar (but it's true)...and I left out her NYC appointment to get her hair colored...as she tweeted, "I love me blonde." And I left out the Access interview...she's such a hollow waste of space.
Ok, I said I was happy for Kate on such an accomplishment- but I saw a side by side comparison of the two chips- and yeah...like the others have said, how is that possible? I also have been reading posts from the marathoners who ran and it was a huge cluster f*$k, Kate was in the middle of that? She could have been, but that doesn't seem her style. I will continue to keep the positive thought that she completed the race, while wondering about those chips. If it comes out she didn't run the entire race, then I will say shame on her :)
Just my cheap two cents:
--Kate lied about her marathon friends from the beginning...said she just met them...which with their running numbers and addresses matching is not likely. I think it was arranged by Julie Carson May and the speaking engagement came out of that.
--In the Australia episode when Kate freaked out about doing the walk outside around the building, she said something to the point of just film me doing a little bit right here and say I went all the way. So, I think this is more than likely like that.
--I believe they swapped chips, probably under the guise of "I don't want the press to know my real time" or something.
--What is wrong with these women that they can have a relationship with someone like this? If you lied about our friendship, I would no longer consider you a friend!
--I don't think Kate is home either, I think she's doing "Press" for her "marathon". If you subscribe to running mags, look out!
--I wonder if there is a connection between Steve and the race guy...Ron? Rick? As they are both Aussies, I think that may be what started this whole thing.
--And of course Kate would hug Ron first, he had more power and influence at the race than poor Steve did!
--I wonder if she checked in to the Four Seasons under an alias or her own name? Although, she may be in LA now, I wouldn't put it past her.
--I really wish she would go home to her kids, or at least let Jon go home to them, and I can't believe I waste so much of my time reading about her! (Although I do think this website is great!)
When did the Queen leave the castle for the marathon?
So Kate has tweeted that she's home? She proved me wrong! Yay!
Still, it was a week and a half...
And of course she'll take it easy today. She's always "exhausted" when she's back with the kids.
Local news about the race.
http://www.ktnv.com/news/local/135152848.html
Yup, she's got to be home - she's tweeting like a madwoman again.
I remember how on DWTS she didn't think she had to put in the practice time. She thought she could phone it in and just collect the paycheck.
I don't call 7 tweets a few hours ago tweeting like a madwoman. She's not home.
Next time she's REALLY around the kids, you'll know it: it'll be sometime outside of school and sleep hours and when they wouldn't be with Jon on his weekend. Then she'll tweet dozens and dozens of times, waving off her kids like she did in one of those last episodes.

_________________________
The best predictor of future behavior is PAST BEHAVIOR. Exactly spot on...and I firmly believe she "phoned in" her marathon run as well (at least 1/2 of it) and "just collected the paycheck." And I agree that she is NOT home.
I went to the Zappos Rock and Roll Marathon and Half Marathon LV website and saw the map of the 2 different courses. The first half of the full marathon is anything but a straight course.
It was at night. There were people all over the place. People were stopping and starting, getting in the way of others. The full marathon course started out going up and down short streets, going in squares, in and out of streets. Would it be impossible for Kate to have taken a shortcut through those streets, cutting off many of those squares and streets? It would have been so easy to do! Before making her own path, she could stand on the side of the road, adjust her shoes or something, get a drink, then take off in her own direction. Then, at a specific point, she could repeat her performance with the shoes and wait for her friend to run the official course, catch her at some designated place so they could continue along together.
Now, at the second half of the full marathon, that would be much, much harder to do, because
it's pretty much a straight course run in a loop.
Until proved otherwise, I'm still congratulating
her for running 26.2 miles on her own power.
If Kate did cheat the way I outlined above, that might be the reason she chose Las Vegas. Night time marathon. Perfect. Who would notice a little bit of shortcutting, really?
Would 3 Pennsylvania women regularly travel that far for a marathon? Why was Kate set on THIS one? Maybe I just don't understand the draw of LV or of marathons.... cooler weather, whatever.
How does she have time being around her kids to Tweet so often if she claims she is so busy?
@NLAN, I hope your health situation clears up quickly! I've never had it, but sounds so uncomfortable.
What I truly wonder is how she will function when she no longer has Steve around. I mean come on, no way can she pay or need to pay this guy the rest of her life. She's not that important. Besides, don't current Presidents only get 10 years protection after being President? That's not the rest of their lives so why is Kate oh-so-special?
She is a former reality TV person from PA. I doubt she'll get mobbed by a pack of "fans" or haters. If she'd just go on about her business like a normal person. "Bodyguard" attracts more attention than it gets rid of.

With all her "reinventing herself, isn't that something one does at oh I don't know...13 or 14? Admin is right Kate does seem stuck mentally. Adults don't usually need to try out all these different things in their 30s. Least I don't think so. Eh, I could wrong.
========================
@Marie,
You make a good point. If an adult faces a wall in some area of their lives and reinvents themselves, it can be courageous. Like Julie Andrews lost much of her range after surgery on her vocal chords, so she began writing children's books. To me, that's a positive response to life. But Kate fakes her so-called growth and abilities. She labels herself a great cook and voilà , she believes she's a great cook! She doesn't really do the work to become it--she phones it in, as someone said earlier.
I think you mentioned you were having exams. My college kids are, too. Good luck with them!
~~~ Note to Hippie Chick: hope you are home and recovering soon! ~~~

"read the comments on the rnr page(what is rnr?)
Kate did not run the race. She was on the sidelines and riding to the checkpoints on someones tomos scooter", etc., etc.
If this was a paid appearence as the article atated, then she did not run to give example to her children. Looks to be more of a PR fabrication to garner attention to the race/charity resulting in media focus on Kate.

A good friend of mine, who is an avid 1/2 marathon runner, ran in this Las Vegas race. She said it was a total mess and poorly set up. However.....she saw Kate Gosselin riding on a scooter driven by her 'bodyguard' Steve. She jumped off before check points and ran through them, with Steve picking her up a short time afterwards. I hope more runners come out on blogs or to the press to tell of her cheating.....what a crazy idiot this woman is. Her children should be taken away from her and given to their father; she is too damn busy trying to be a Hollywood D Lister!

"read the comments on the rnr page. 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. Pissed many of the committed runners off.
It was a paid appearance to garner support for a race and a charity that isn't a 501c3 organization and like everything in Las Vegas, what happens there, stays there. 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."

But unless there is video or photos, there's no way to prove this, unfortunately. It remains hearsay until someone comes forth with evidence, or multiple witnesses speak up about it (Kate and the scooter). Nothing would surprise me, however, and it's too bad she can't be called out publicly (with proof) if she indeed did cheat.
ok, so I admit, I have never ran a marathon or a half marathon or anything that looks more then a run to the store...but, here is something I noticed....
In the pictures of Kate starting the marathon those 2 sisters are one on either side of her...but if you look at a lady behind Kate to my right, she has a bluish toque on with a torquise top under neath a black jacket with dark navy shorts over black running leggings... That woman is a few steps behind her.... now fast forward to the pics of kate crossing the finish line.. those 2 sisters are on either side of Kate, and lookey who is only steps in front of kate??!!! That same woman with the blue toque, and turquise jacket, but she now has her jacket removed. Its not tied around her waist, so where would it have gone?
Is it common for people who start together, who do not know each other to be so close together through the wholerace? I can't make out her bib number...
Check it out at this site, pages 5 and 6..
http://preesi.lefora.com/2011/12/05/marathon-women-aka-its-a-small-world-after-all-aka/page6/
No photos, no film footage? Hmmmmmmm and started with a 9 minute mile? Never really lagged but finished with an almost 12 minute mile? Hmmmmmmmmmmm
LYING AGAIN....and we all know if you want to hide something, do it in Las Vegas.
oops, the lady is too my left...
If you watch the videos, and can go back in time and forward, you will see Kate has quite the entourage. There is Steve, and Rod, a photographer just for Kate, a lady in white who is in front of the finish line looking out for Kate, Julie, and some other people behind the barrier. This was an expensive outing for either Kate or her publicist. The photographer was just standing there and not taking any pictures except of Kate finishing.
When Kate finished, she had her picture taken with Rod, by the photographer. Nobody in the entourage talked to Ellen and Paula.
What was nice was when Steve was waiting, he was pointing out the people who needed medial attention to the medic. But instead of being purse boy, he was coat boy.
Fidosmommy
She was paid to be there.

May is a Marathon runner mainly R&R in AZ. They shed their clothes as they get hot and drop them by side of street. People come by and pick all of them up. At the end of the race they have something like a trailer and you can get the items. Sometimes you just have to say, oh well it is gone and just part of running.
I don't care if she ran or not.
What is profoundly amusing to me, is that one of the laziest people on reality television has gotten herself into a scheme where she has to train (or pretend to train) for running 26.2 miles, and may have to train or pretend to do the same again and again.
I don't know about rest of you, but I much rather book a stay in a spa or a 5 star hotel for a few days, rather than have to run, jog, walk or training I have to do for a few photos along the road .... so I can show up and maybe run, walk, jog 26.2 miles.
No matter how much money she actually makes in appearance fees, it seems the time and effort involved isn't worth it. Instead she appear to content to be a Grade Z "name" to be used by whoever will pay an appearance fee. LOL!!!!! (in honor of her use of !!!!).
Sorry my brain runs faster then I can type.
The post should have said ...My daughter is a Marathon runner. Also her friend ran in that race in NV and so when she gets back to work she said she will ask her how the run went.

Meagler, I don't know anything about that woman with the toque...
BUT - if Ellen was only running the half why was she at the starting line with kHate and Paula? The half marathon started later than the full, why was Ellen running at the beginning of the full?
Imagine the energy, the mental gymnastics Kate must go through to try to impress whomever she's trying to impress. Imagine the plotting sessions she and Steve must go thru for her to appear to be doing something worthwhile. I think the reason why she likes him so much is that he is willing to go along with this complete bullshit. Say what you will about Jon, but he at least had some integrity..it was usually squelched by Kate as she informed him that the husband would do XY or Z if he loved his wife. Poor guy. I think he usually had the right idea, the morally and ethically right idea but it didn't pass the Kate test. Ratclaws is just as big a douche as Kate.

What's really tragic is that on Monday, five students at New Oxford High School (Adams County) were killed in a car crash two miles from school. We've been having steady rain for the past few days and the roads are very slippery. These kids just aren't experienced enough to drive on wet roadways - they don't know to slow down. Leaves and wet roads can be just as slippery as snow.
"@SandieBellz a scooter? no cheating is tolerated.R They Jealous much? Can't accept I did it-- I'm still in shock, and pain!:)"
============================================
Interesting that the bimbo is denying the scooter thing. She didn't even acknowledge the cheating rumors until now. Wouldn't it be smarter for her to just ignore everything and let it die on its own?

I wouldn't be shocked to find out that she did go into a porta-potty to hand off her running tag or sneakers. Maybe Steve stood outside the potty blocking the door. Everything she does is so scripted and fake. Nothing would surprise me

I think Kate would crawl on her hands and knees the whole way rather than stand in a portapotty for any extended length of time. I might do that myself!

I've been thinking about the whole "reinvent" scenario for a day or 2 now, trying to put it into words. She has to reinvent herself when her current audience sees through her facade. She's got to move to a new audience, people who don't know anything about her. I'm thinking Steverino has mapped out a way for her to navigate and stay grifting and traveling.
I just went to the page of 2009's posts, to look at pics of how kate looked, prior to whatever work she's had done to herself- facelift, botox, peels, whatever you want to call it, it sure as heck ain't running that's changed your face, katie, darling!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I noticed that the post about filming the "Twist of kate" pilot in NC went up TWO YEARS AGO tomorrow!
Where does the time go? WHY is this horrible excuse of a mother STILL in the media? I truly thought, and hoped, that she would have faded into oblivion by now.
I, too, believe that she DID NOT run/walk/jog/shuffle/trudge 26.2 km. As others have said, WHY would anyone believe this from a woman who lies so much? Come on, she couldn't be bothered to make a Halloween treat to photograph for her adoring tweeple. She's so lazy, she took a pic of a magazine page, for cripes' sake!

Yes, I agree completely! What will come after running? Can you picture Steve with a flow chart pointing and saying, "Okay, now we go to Plan Q. You're going to prove you're an artist. We'll hire a painter who will say you did the work, and..."

I'll take a guess. The children were homeschooled, so they were possibly friends of or through Carla, Ashley's mom.

We homeschoolers (if we have the same ideals) tend to band together across a pretty wide area. We counted once and our little homeschool group had kids from thirteen Virginia counties! Or maybe it's the Twins Group, as Localyocul suggested.

@XXXXXX don't think there are going to b any ....:(
Interesting. I have believed all along that the split with TLC was anything but amicable. But perhaps this is also due to the fact that Jon has refused to let it happen. Whatever . . . hopefully this marks the true end of K+8 as far as TV goes.
Now if we could only say the same of K . . .

P.S. to above: This is particularly true of the "old time" homeschoolers, those who have homeschooled for upwards of, say, 15 or 20 years. There was a time where the pioneering homeschool families had to stick together. There just weren't that many. Carla and the mom of these sweet children sound like they fit that mould.
Snipped from Gather.Com..
According to a report from Film News, Kate ran this marathon to teach her eight little Gosselin children a lesson.
"I'm running this because I want to show that with dedication and determination anything is possible," she explains.
"I want them to remember this moment when their mom completed a marathon, knowing that nothing in life should stop them from attaining their goals," Kate adds.
"This will probably be one of the most painful messages I will ever impart to them," Kate Gosselin says.
Asking divorced moms - seriously -
Do/did you always refer to MY kids as opposed to THE kids? Is this normal? Sounds weird to me.
Why doesn't this woman put all this effort into finding a honest paying job for her children? This bitch takes the cake!

Oh my Lord, does she hear herself speak?
