It's cap-and-gown season all over the country right now. Although it's been a while since she's worn the ceremonial garb, in this week's column Blake shares some thoughts about the importance of having people cheering you on as you face a challenge — such as completing college. She and Coach Sev attended the Cal State Monterey Bay graduation to cheer on some of the athletes Sev worked with there when he was the the cross country coach. Blake also looks forward to, and partially dreads, the day Quin will be accepting his diploma.
Subscribers (both print and electronic) can read her column Saturday in the Herald. It will appear on the blog Sunday.
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.
