Katie Holmes has signed on to run the Boston Marathon, Us Weekly reports in its new issue, on newsstands now.
The 29-year-old star of Mad Money – who recently said she was "so happy" for Tom Cruise's pregnant ex Nicole Kidman – had placed 34,193rd among 39,085 entrants in the New York City marathon (26.2 miles in about 5 hours and 30 minutes) on Nov. 4, which means she didn't qualify by merit for the April 21st race in Boston.

With all the 10k, half marathon and marathon training I've done, I realized that the Turkey Trot 5K I'm doing in a few weeks will be my FIRST 5K EVER.
Color me baffled. A friend of mine who is a speed demon and soon-to-be Boston Qualifier, Kerrie, shared one of her favorite track workouts with me to prep for this race.

There have been rumblings for some time that Katie Holmes couldn’t possibly have run the full NY Marathon during the day and gone out with heels on that night. Katie drew some skeptics when she was seen at her husband’s side that very night wearing heels at the premiere of his film Lions for Lambs. She could easily obtain custom made sneakers as well as those insanely expensive Louboutins that are made from a mold of your foot, so maybe her feet were immune to the wear and tear that plague average runners.

Big THANK YOU to KarmaKarmaChameleon for posting this for me...BIG :kiss:
I wanted to share this with all of you so that you can realize there are still good people out there who give so selflessly of themselves.
Whether or not you believe it God or not, this young man does, so sit back, relax, grab a tissue, watch and listen, really listen.
All my love,

NEW YORK (AP) -- Newsstands from Seattle to New York quickly sold out of Wednesday's papers declaring Barack Obama the nation's first black president as some jubilant customers picked up two, three or even 30 copies as keepsakes.
The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune in Obama's hometown were among papers that restarted their printing presses to produce hundreds of thousands of additional copies across the country.
Entrepreneurs were seeking as much as $600 for the Times on eBay Wednesday.
