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.

just run
Check Wednesday's Monterey County Herald for an interesting story on the youth running program "Just Run" that just achieved a milestone. One of the teachers involved in the program says the program benefits from a strong running community, which includes many parents. That, she says, is a key to the success of the program at her school.
"When you get the adults interested, the kids will get involved," she said. "Kids love to run. They just need role models who support and praise them."
Like Blake has noted in previous posts, Quin doesn't stand a chance. Fit him for his running shoes now. - dave
