Deena Kastor Interview

Dropped Out,
according to a report from NBC, she WAS taking care of herself, and didn't see any reason to exercise a more significant degree of caution. She said that tendons "get hyper-sensitive leading up to a marathon... [she] was icing it this week. It didn't affect how [she] was training". Obviously, it didn't feel that severe, and I'm pretty sure she would have tended to it much more carefully had she known that something like this might happen.

It's just a really unfortunate occurrence, and I hope it's not too serious.
But what exactly is it? Stress fracture? Ruptured tendon?
It's so sad to have trained as hard as she did and end up having something like this happen. It was so upsetting to see her have to stop.

at first i couldn't believe that she dropped out, then it hit me and i was soo sad!
i didn't like the turn out and Paula...it was sad to watch.

"something in my foot popped"

stress fracture?

if your watching right now, deena just dropped out after about three miles in. she was holding her foot. after three miles at a slow pace this tells me this was a injury she had coming into the race. why do all those miles and come to the trials and stop after three??!! taking care of your body should be most important!

when is it showing tonight?? NBC is not focusing much on running this year. Thanks
