Actress Katie Holmes reached the finish line yesterday after 5 hours, 29 minutes and 58 seconds of running her way through one of the world’s largest marathons.

Looking overly excited and sporting a baseball cap, purple vest and black leggings, the actress was greeted with cheers at the New York City Marathon finish line by her husband, actor Tom Cruise, 45, their daughter, Suri, her mother-in-law and her parents, who flew in from Ohio for the event.

Holmes was overheard giggling, "Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours," as she ran into her proud husband’s arms, "She's very inspired," he said.

"I'm good, but I'm feeling very tired," the former "Dawson’s Creek" star told People magazine after the marathon.

The 28-year-old actress, who learned to run as a child in Toledo, Ohio, when her dad had her and her siblings run three-mile loops, reportedly trained only over the last three months for the competition.

"I have always loved to run," she told Harper's Bazaar magazine recently. "It has helped me lose the extra baby weight."

Shortly after completing the race at about 3:30 p.m., Holmes together with her family headed over to a private banquet Cruise threw for her at Tavern on the Green, where Cruise found himself watching over for his daughter, who was racing around the tent.

"She's a runner!" he exclaimed.

Earlier in the day, another high profile competitor finished the marathon in half the time, cycling champion Lance Armstrong, who crossed the finish line after 2 hours and 47 minutes.

The two stars joined 39,000 other runners for 26.2 mile marathon which took them through all five boroughs of the city, starting in Staten Island and finishing in Manhattan’s Central Park.

Sporting a black ribbon on his chest in the memory of Olympic hopeful Ryan Shay, who dropped dead during a trial run the day before, Armstrong told the New York Post: "That's why I put this ribbon on so if I forgot I could look down and see it,

"It's one of those stories of a young guy at the top of his game.

"It was certainly unexpected but he's a runner and if he's going to go that's the way to go."
