Holmes in 11.4 NYC Marathon

Anyone who goes the distance in the New York City Marathon has my respect and then some. But having done some running in my time, I'm wondering if Katie Holmes, who is after all surrounded by minders, "yes" people and Scientologists 24-7, will be able to run the entire distance this Sunday.

Like everyone else, Holmes will have to hump all the way from the foot of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island and up through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and finish somewhere in southern Central Park. Life doesn't get much lonelier or more grueling than when you're running a marathon, and for the first time since she hooked up with Tom Cruise, Holmes will be entirely alone. No goons, no Xenu, no obsessive assistants...it'll be entirely between herself, her leg muscles and her spirit.

Strike is on!<< previous | next >>Welcome to Fakeville

Her thetans will be helping her every step of the way... clear to the finish!

You always end Scientology alone, like Quentin Hubbard or Greg Bashaw did.

I hate marathons and marathoners. One thing that fascinates me is the number of people with baby arms and flipper arms that you see running.

This was way back before the pregnancy, but I remember reading somewhere that she was an avid runner, so depending on how much training she's been doing, she might have it in her.

Perhaps she'll seize the opportunity to run back to a real life. Here's hoping!

I'm wishing the best for her. I've run a few events in my time and it is no picnic. Can't we just be happy that she's promoting fitness instead of rehab clinics?

get real - she will have 3 bodyguards and probably 4 scientology goons in a running circle around her every step of the way

my guess is she bails on it as speculation is that she is prego with alien #2

Running a marathon is so unsexy, she must feel very unsexy in her marriage.

No one cares how she does in the race. They just want her to wear a skimpy jogging outfit. Assuming Tom hasn't ruined her for other men...

Film critic Ed Gonzalez is also running in the marathon... I hope Katie doesn't run into him as I'm sure he's had a chance to trash more than a few of her movies.
