Not as long as she would have liked. 2008 has been a tough year for her. She withdrew from the London Marathondue to a foot injury and then suffered from a stress fracture to her leg which kept her from doing any running. Once her injuries healed she went on an accelerated training program to be ready for the Olympics. Her 23rd place finish in the marathon at the 2008 Games can be directly attributed to the fact that her training was interrupted due to her injuries. She was quoted after the marathon as saying: I knew I was pushing it coming in with three-and-a-half weeks of running. You can't take shortcuts in the marathon and I guess I learned that today. She ran a gallant race but, in reality, had no chance of winning.
