The inside skinny... on Valerie Bertinelli Runs Half Marathon

Valerie Bertinelli Runs Half Marathon

by Betsy on Celebs

Valerie Bertinelli is still celebrating her new body and better health. As if wearing a bikini for People Magazine wasn’t enough, last weekend she ran the Napa-to-Sonoma Wine Country Half-Marathon! She completed the 13.1 mile race in 2:12:19. She said,

“My legs are killing me, but I think I’m so high and excited and full of pride – which is an unusual thing for me! – that I probably won’t feel it for a couple days,” says the actress, 49. “I am in amazement. I can’t believe what a body can do if you believe in it.”

Bertinelli has been training hard for months in order to prepare for the big race. Her boyfriend/workout partner, Tom Vitale, ran in the race with her. She did tell People Magazine that before the race the two of them indulged in a food splurge of panzanella bread, cheese and tomato salad for lunch and beet salad and lemon cottage-cheese pancakes with creme fraiche for dinner knowing they would burn it all off the next day. She said,

“The pancakes are to die for! I said, ‘I’m eating them! I’m allowed because I’m running!’ I’m going to enjoy it.’ Sooo yummy!” she says. “The last time I ate whatever I wanted and didn’t feel guilty was when I was pregnant!”

As for a full marathon, the 49 year old does see it as a possibility:

“My trainer thinks I’m going to do a [full] marathon before I’m 50. I have till April,” she says. “I’m not committing yet! I haven’t wrapped my head around it. We’re negotiating.”

Good luck, Valerie.
