Is London 2012 a possibility? Cathy Chee, BOSTON
I get asked that all the time. Here's the deal: if I were in my 20s, I'd be like, Oh yeah, no problem. But I'm almost 42. I had three orthopedic surgeries in the fall. My body breaks down much more than it would if I were in my 20s. But I haven't reached my peak. I'm not ruling it out, but I'm going to take it day by day.
