With considerably less fanfare than Diddy or Lance Armstrong, Katie Holmes ran the NYC Marathon in 5 hours, 29 minutes, and 58 seconds. She wore an FDNY baseball cap, black pants and a purple tank top - and was possibly surrounded by a security detail who might have been running alongside her.
Mega-star husband Tom Cruise and child Suri Cruise, as well as her parents and mother-in-law, were on hand to give the former Dawson's Creek ingenue support along the marathon route. After hitting the finish line, Holmes told People that the entire race was challenging, "I'm good, but I'm feeling very tired."
Holmes enjoys running - we used to see her, pre-Tom Cruise days, running on a treadmill at Crunch on Lafayette. And it's unclear if Cruise is in town to hype his upcoming film, Lions for Lambs, or to talk Scientology's 9/11 health treatments - or both!
