Rather interesting graph from this morning's Herald story on the Big Sur Marathon plans in the wake of the slide: The major difference between this year's race and the 1998 event (when the race was an out and back because of road closure) is the number of runners who will be affected. Kastner said about 8,000 will participate in various Sunday morning events on May 1, compared with around 4,500 who ran in the marathon and 10-miler during the El NiƱo year.
Another testament to how popular this event has become.
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.
