VIDEO: Jennifer Lopez Decided to Run Triathlon ... While Eight Months Pregnant
Monday August 18, 2008


While eight months pregnant with twins Max and Emme, a thought came to Jennifer Lopez: I want to run a triathlon.

"I was beached like a whale. I was watching TV, and I saw a triathlon and I said, ‘You know what? I think I could do that, that would be great for me to do. Maybe I’ll do it this year,’” Lopez — Self’s Most Inspiring Woman of 2008 — said on ABC's Good Morning America on Monday.

The 39-year-old star has less than a month until the Nautica Malibu Triathlon, which takes place September 14.

The hardest part?

"Swimming is a killer," said Lopez, who is raising money for Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. "I'm not going to lie."

Lopez — who has been following a workout by Gunnar Peterson — says she enjoyed the training (her motto: "Get it done, Lopez!") because she has "more energy."

She joked that she is determined to finish the race even if she "has to crawl across that finish line."
