Olympic bronze medalist and 2006 London Marathon champion Deena Kastor had some listless training and a lackluster (for her) race result this summer and "just could not pull anything together there for a couple of months." A barrage of tests uncovered nothing. She may have discovered a new runner's malady. "My husband, coach and training partners think it was kitchen-remodeling stress," Kastor reports. But now, as she seeks Sunday's ING New York City Marathon luarels, she's feeling fine. "It seemed like everything started clearing up as soon as the last tool left the house," she notes. "We're back in the kitchen. I'm entertaining again and feeling good. We learned a lesson that we will never remodel anything again."
