If you see Veronica Webb running through New York City, cheer her along! The supermodel is in training for her very first marathon as part of the Harlem United team, and yesterday was the official practice run.
Veronica teamed up with her friend from kindergarten and the pair took took on all five boroughs, completing 22 miles, two more than the scheduled run. “We were the caboose for Team Apollo,” she admitted, as the two took a slight unplanned detour in the park while searching for the final stop, Tavern on the Green.
“I’m exhilarated,” she said of the experience. “I feel really free. We had the longest and best talk about our lives and motherhood and the future. We saw so much of New York and how people live. It was super cool.”
Her trick? Don’t forget to nourish during the run. The supermodel marathoner stocks up on Gu Energy Gel to provide her body with the protein it needs mid run.
Veronica’s goal for the marathon is to finish in 4 hours and minutes and raise $25,000. Help her out!
