Apparently Deena Kastor broke a bone in her foot during yesterday’s Olympic marathon! I don’t know how I missed it last night, except I was dozing during some of the coverage. I did wake in time to watch Torres and Phelps swim. (Amazing!)

The parts of the women’s marathon I saw did not even mention Kastor, but I was watching after the first hour. If she was injured in the first 5K, it was old news by then.

From what I know about Kastor, she is an amazing athlete. (If you read Runner’s World, you would think that with as much coverage as they traditionally give her.) I cannot imagine how disappointing this is for her.
