Better late than never... it looks like the blog world has uncovered that Katie Homes DID NOT run the NYC marathon. Great work can be found here and here and here. I'll give the main points of the conspiracy here:
1. No bleeding nipples.
2. No salt stains on her hat or clothes. You can't run 26.2 miles and not have salt stains. Ask Rosie Ruiz.
3. The lone run-man theory. Katie Holmes was allegedly paced by this man, Wesley Okerson, who allegedly wore a racing bib that appeared to be recycled from the 2003 NYC Marathon (#6074) but appears to have a timing chip on his foot. Why the timing chip? Did he run with Katie's chip? Why the 2003 number? There's no official results for either Okerson or #6074. BTW, #6074 for the 2003 race was assigned to Al Finger. Alan Finger is a yoga guru to the the stars in Los Angeles. Coincidence?
4. The identical splits. Katie Holmes and another of her apparent trainers, Paul Vincent (#28994) recorded the exact same splits throughout the race. To do this, you'd have to choreograph your steps with the precision of the Radio City Rockettes. It's very odd.
5. No photos. The Kahuna has gotten a little obsessed with this. Photographers took wide angle pictures as runners across the 10k timing mat. The Kahuna looked up the photos of each runner who finished with a few seconds of Holmes' alleged 10K split (1:06:51), and couldn't find any photo that included Holmes on either side of the street. With her long pants, purple shirt and blue hat, she shouldn't be hard to spot. (On the Brightroom website, there are no photos of Holmes or Paul Vincent. Hmmmmm.
6. High heels. After struggling to allegedly complete her first marathon (5:29 and change), Katie Holmes put on a pair of high heels that night and attended the movie premiere with her husband, walking down the red carpet with no ill effects from the marathon.
THANKS TRIGEEK!
I would love to hear from my marathon friends in Korea on this!

Whit here---
This is super shady. Thanks for bringing this to my attention Jimmy. I have been passing over the recent stories about Tom and/or Katie if possible.
My thoughts? She was bound to be photographed and must have had blistered toes. How does one run for five hours and not? Certainly her run was bogus.
But then I just can's wrap my brain around anyone trying to cheat in a marathon, especially Joey Potter. Could it be that people want to take her down with Tom?
This may be like the JFK assassination. We may never really know.
Thanks Whit! I was really looking forward to your thoughts.
Maybe NYC is different but, based on my experience in the marathons that I have participated in and watched the people that are crossing the line after the 5 hour mark didn't look anything like she looked.
yeah, the fact that there aren't any other pics of her on the course is mighty fishy. surely they would be posted all over the internet by now.
unrelated to katie, check out the blog of a friend of mine who has done the ironman three times: http://www.mjtheironman.blogspot.com/
These facts are all true except one. I just completed the New Jersey Marathon at 3 hours 37 minutes and had no salt stains i did the whole marathon especially now with the championchip timeings and i beleive it was due to simply being very hydrated.
