Deena Kastor to Make Comeback at Chicago 2009

Read the full story here

I'm so excited to watch Deena shoot for a comeback and potentially a new PR at the Chicago Marathon 2009. I was fortunate enough to talk with her at the Olympic Trials and at the New York City Marathon last year. She told me at NYC it was going to be her first week of walking directly on her foot after the suffering a break during the Olympic Marathon in Beijing in August. She explained the foot went numb for about 30 seconds around mile 3 before hearing a loud pop, (when she actually suffered the break)...describing it as a very painful experience...Probably in many more ways than just physically! Imagine all the work to train for the Olympics only to have to drop at mile 3! Agh.

Go Deena! We're rooting for you.
