I read an article about Julia Roberts' weight gain while filming Eat Pray Love. It was an interesting article, other than one little part that bugged me:
RUN: Honey Stinger Cherry Blossom Energy Chews are awesome. I haven't been able to stomach any kind of energy chew before, but these are like eating fruit snacks ~ very tasty fruit snacks!
13.5?? Really??"Julia, who has maintained her slim physique while juggling a high-profile
career and being the mom of three, managed to train for a 13.5-mile half
marathon while shooting the film in India last summer."

Hahahah!! The media usually gets those distances wrong. Like the Ironman swim distances is 21 miles as reported on the Today show.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to run a 13.5 mile half marathon, but if it was one of those 13.5 full marathons, then sign me up!
ReplyDeleteThat would bug me too! Ooof! Edit!
ReplyDeleteBwahahahaha! Idiots... but that cracks me up. They couldn't be bothered to research?
ReplyDeleteGood for Julia for doing the work. Bad for the copy editor who didn't have the facts checked.
ReplyDeletehmmm... I have been asked on more than one occasion, "How far is THAT marathon?"
ReplyDeletehaha...great post!
ReplyDeleteI used to be a copy editor. Haha. Copy editing has taken a backslide. Now editors want designs and fillers to win awards and rake in more advertising dollars.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for Vietnamese spring roll recipe this weekend and found on a reputable site that says "Thai spring roll." Hmm.. so not accurate. You would think they would have checked the origin of the spring rolls before they filmed the segment.
