Ellie Goulding – 34-Years-Old, “Lights”

Singer Ellie Goulding has been playing piano and clarinet since she was a child. Now, the 34-year-old has become one of the biggest pop stars ever, thanks to hits like “Lights,” “Under the Sheets,” and her cover of Elton John’s “Your Song.”

Meanwhile, Goulding has also found a brand new hobby, to rival her singing abilities: running! In fact, the singer ran the first-ever Nike Women Half Marathon in Washington, D.C., in 2013. There Goulding earned a time of 1:41:35 – not too shabby! “I find it much better for my mental well-being to be my own competition,” the singer explained. “I did races, 10Ks, half-marathons, and had quite fast times. I used to go down to the running tracks and race against people, but I don’t enjoy it.”
