LETSRUN.com MESSAGE BOARD FINDINGIt has been 4 years since Deena has run a respectable Marathon but she has had a few things that make her appealing to a major race.
1. She was the only female American that was any good.
2. She is the American record holder.
3. She interviews well.
4. She has an Olympic Medal.
However, she is not currently as good as Magdalena, Kara, or Desiree Davila. She was smart to sign with NY last month as her days are numbered. She may still have a 2:25 left in her. but she will never see anything faster than that again. Take a close look at her last few years. She is not getting younger.
