My coach and I embarked on quite a journey a week ago Monday in order to get to Punta Umbria, Spain for the Cross Country World Championships. Had I known it would take us over 20 hours of travel to get there, I might have hesitated. But, having run a solid race finishing 19th and walking away with a bronze medal for the United States team, it was well worth the journey.
I'll be writing more about the experience in Saturday's column.
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.
