Olympic bronze medalist Deena Kastor has announced that she will compete in this year's Chicago Marathon. She hopes to run under 2:20, which would be a new American women's record. That would be an improvement of more than a minute over her personal best time, but with Chicago's fast course it's certainly possible. I guess this shows that London isn't the only marathon that can stack its roster with big names.
