Tom Cruise has reportedly started training for the Boston Marathon.

The Hollywood star has apparently been inspired by his wife Katie Holmes, who ran last year's New York Marathon in under five and a half hours.

Cruise is allegedly showing a competitive streak in training and is desperate to beat Holmes's time in the race.

A source told The Mirror: "When he saw her running that race, something kicked inside him and he decided he'd have to do it - possibly in Boston. That's the kind of guy he is."

So they're training on having the cameras there at the right time to make it look like he's actually in the race?

Well, it worked for Katie.

That's the kind of guy he is.

What kind of guy is that? Jealous? Insecure? Control freak?

Even though I don't believe Katie actually ran that whole marathon, how pathetic that he wants to make sure HE does it better.

I'd like to see him run on his little midget dwarf legs. It would be cute. It would look like a Leprachan dressed as Maverick disguised as a crazy person running. It would be the single most wonderful, great, blessed and amazing experience ever!!!!

I first read, "Tom wants to beat Katie," and I thought, "Shit, I want to beat her too!"

Tommy can't run in heels.

His career is gone the way of the Dodo...now what?

He wants to be a marathon winner...?

I thought he might run in those sneakers he wore at Suri's birthday party.

That little bastard will do anything these days to get his name or face in print. He makes my ass want to spit tobacco.

Well I for one cannot WAIT for the film at 11 on this story when it happens!! Midget Man running like a loon! Olive Oyl bringing up his rear!!

**MissVenus** · April 29th, 2008, 07:18 PM

I want to see how far he can run in those ridiculous platform sneakers of his!

Run a marathon because you want too... not so you can out-do your missus.

Loser.

It will be a whole lot harder to fake him running it too cause everyone will be checking to make sure he's in the race from start to finish.

Will Tommy be training in famous German parks like his wife did? Where no photographers caught a single shot of her training? At all? Will Katie lend him a pair of her running pants that cover her non-existent race timing chip so that someone else can run his race as well? What will these two think up next? Suri in training too?

Hey, Brookie, Suri would be an amazing marathon runner OK... Suri would be so amazing that amazingly no-one would see her because she was so amazingly fast. In fact, Suri is so amazing that she is going to take up distance bicycle riding so she can go in the Tour de France... and she'll be amazing... she'll beat Lance Armstrong... Suri is that amazing... look for her at the Beijing Olympics too... she'll be doing the 100m freestyle and she'll probably win cause she's amazing and then she'll jump out the pool and race over to do an amazing high-jump and then she'll vault over and do an amazing gymnastics routine and get 11-out-of-ten cause she's so fucking amazing...
