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.

What's next
Bad days happen. As an athlete you learn to wait a fews days before trying to assess what went wrong. My coach was comforting me after the nightmare of Boston saying there is a a huge learning curve with the Boston Marathon. Even two-time Boston champion Bill Rogers, better know as “Billy Boston” dropped out twice before he won. Though I may not ever get a chance to race Boston again, I will keep going until I get it right. I have had my share of disappointments, but as Coach Sev always, “It’s the journey in the end.”
