After Blake Russell competed for the U.S. in 2008 Beijing Olympics her life changed drastically. In 2009, she gave birth to Quin and the already active Russell household in Pacific Grove turned it up a notch. Russell is now back in training, hoping to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics while making an Olympian effort to be a good wife and mother.

Counting down to taper
I have two or three more hard workouts left until I start to taper for the Boston Marathon (April 18). I have always found these last few weeks before the marathon the toughest and the most likely time to get hurt or lose focus. Usually, I am feeling physically and emotionally fatigued from all of the long runs and workouts, but this time I feel more refreshed having taken some time off - both planned and forced.
