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.

From Runner's Web
Another preview of the women's field in Boston, this one from Runner's Web: Russell also could factor in. The only U.S. woman to finish the Olympic Marathon in Beijing, she hasn't run a marathon since 2008 having become a mother in April, 2009. But Russell is going into Boston with similar momentum to Goucher and Davila, having just run the World Cross Country Championships, where she finished a respectable 19th in the women's 8 km, helping score a team bronze medal for the U.S.
