Deena Kastor will run in the Los Angeles 2016 olympic marathon trials!

Deena Michelle is an all American long distance runner and holds many records in the marathon races she runs. She is 5"4 and 104lbs and is from Waltham MA. She won the bronze medal in the womwens marathon at the 2004 Olimpics in Athens, Greece. She was always the standout athlete in highschool. She competed in the most hardest race for any highschool running athlete could ever qualify for, and one 2 of the races. Its called the Footlocker cross country championships. Anyways, after she was done with college she decided that she just wanted to focus on marathons. After all of her hard work and training had paid off because in 2007 she placed 5th in the Boston Marathon!!! Which i will be running in the Baystate marathon in october to try and qualify for the boston marathon 2015. Deena went threw a few foot issues and knee problems but she pushed through them all. She had a baby in 2010 and quickly got back into "beast mode" and set a record in the marathon with the time of 2:19!!!!!Its crazy to think about because that like holding a 5 minute mile threw 26.2 miles! Thats insane. When she steps foot on the starting line in Los Angeles in 2016 i think its going to be a smoke show and shes going to win it.. it may be a battle at the end BUT she got this no doubt about it! :)
