Can You Look Too Pretty While Finishing the Marathon?

By Nicoleao @momfever

katherine jenkins london marathonRunning a marathon is quite a feat. After all, it’s a big distance!

And usually that shows! Participants of marathons usually look a bit worse for wear when they cross that longed for finish line. They often look sweaty and red faced. But not so opera singer Katherine Jenkins! She crossed the finish line of the London Marathon in 5 hours and 47 minutes, looking like she had just enjoyed a nice cup of tea on a relaxing Sunday afternoon. I look worse after only 5K…

Apparently her pretty looks didn’t sit well with Daily Mail columnist Jan Moir who wrote a bitchy column about Katherine Jenkins running the marathon in ‘lashings of pink lip gloss, sooty false eyelashes and sweeping, coal black eyeliner.’

Personally I think that shows tremendous courage! The risk of looking like a sad panda is enormous!

Do you wear make-up during your runs?
