Description

For most of us, our decisions don't carry the weight of one that faced Deena. In 2006 she had to make a difficult decision – Win the Boston Marathon or run the London Marathon and push the marathon record out of reach. She talks to us about how her dog helped her make this decision and how she trained to break the American Marathon Record at the 2006 London Marathon. The American Record is one of many accolades for Deena - an 8-time National Cross Country Champion, 8-time collegiate All-American, 4-time SEC Champion, two silver medals in World Cross Country Championships, Women’s Road 10 mile record, Women’s 15K record, Women’s 8K record. Additionally, Deena is an author, of Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory https://amzn.to/3gDITRC and is currently working on writing a cookbook.
