RW says Deena is running. I would assume it would have to be her last go-round. Not just because of her advancing age, but because of the strength/age of the field in general. I wouldn't write her off just on age, and maybe things would be different if it were a few years back and the field wasn't as strong (I'm thinking 2000), but given how many of these women are just reaching their peak - yeah. She's done after this. Good luck, Deena! (But I still want Tera to win.)

Desiree Davila passed me going up Heartbreak Hill at the 2007 Boston Marathon. I think she ran like a 2:48 that day, which shows both how far she has come over the last 5 years and how stupid fast I went out that day.

I'll still be pulling for Kara, though.

I'd rather see Desi take it than one of the "pretty" girls.
