Christy Turlington Isn’t Just Running A Marathon, She’s Eating Carbs

In addition to running an organization dedicated to the health of mothers and children, doing a lot of yoga, being married to Ed Burns, and filming documentaries, Christy Turlington has also, apparently, found the time to run the New York City Marathon.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, she and nine other friends and supporters will running to raise awareness for her organization, Every Mother Counts — and she’s already raised $70,000 for the feat. But that’s not what has Turlington pumped about the whole process. Instead, it’s the eating.

One thing you have to do is carb-loading. That is something I had always heard about but never really knew what it involved,” she said. “It’s kind of nice to say you have to eat carbs. That’s my job right now.”

That’s what we tell ourselves every day, right around dinnertime.
