Katie Holmes – marathon runner, mother and perfect wife?!?

She makes the rest of us look bad!! Katie Holmes, mother to a one year old baby and wife to one of Hollywood’s most successful actors, with a successful acting career of her own, completed the 26.2 mile New York Marathon in 5 hours 29 minutes and 58 seconds. She then posed for photos (looking as glam as ever) and then rushed home to freshen up so that she could make it to the premiere of her husband’s movie “Lions for Lambs”. Well done Katie! Tabloids across the world are casting a suspicious eye over how she managed to complete the race without looking like a drowned rat. Perhaps she trained?? Perhaps she is fit?? Why is all that so hard to believe? Just like it was so hard to believe that she was pregnant – but she had Suri didn’t she? So it wasn’t the huge conspiracy that the tabloids were making it out to be. Is it so hard for us to accept that there can be a person out there who is successful, glamorous, fit, a loving mum, a caring wife??

After all, I’m not that different from Katie. I’ve got a 6 month old baby, I ran the 5km Race for Life (ok walked it but still!) and I’m sure I could put on a bit of lippie and manage to look presentable if Mik offered to take me to see “Lion for Lambs”. You know what, I’m a scaled down version of Katie Holmes
