Supermodel-turned-activist Christy Turlington said her “old legs didn’t hold me back” as she logged a personal record for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon course Sunday.
Turlington, 47, ran the 26.2-mile race in 3 hours, 47 minutes and 53 seconds, which is about 8 minutes, 41 seconds per mile, according to online records. Turlington shaved about 17 minutes off her 2014 Chicago Marathon time.
She ran the race on behalf of Every Mother Counts, a group she founded to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for all mothers.

Actor/comedian Rob Riggle was also among the 40,000-plus Chicago Marathon finishers Sunday. The former correspondent for “The Daily Show” ran the race in 5 hours, 33 minutes and 52 seconds, which is about 12 minutes, 44 seconds per mile.
Riggle, 46, said he suffered a calf injury during training. Nevertheless, he beat his 2002 New York City Marathon time by about 15 minutes. A retired Marine, Riggle ran on behalf of Project Salute, an organization that supports veterans.
“Holy cow! I finished the Chicago Marathon! I’m in pain,” Riggle posted Sunday on Instagram.
