In this week's column, Blake tells us what havoc a sick child can have on an elite runner's routine. She spent several hours curled up with her 2-year old watching Thomas the Train and dreaded leaving him to go on training runs. Any mother who works outside the home probably has similar experiences or memories (One of editor Dave's earliest memories was being home sick, his head in his mother's lap, watching I Love Lucy, then being upset because the news broke in reporting JFK had been shot).
Blake's column appears in Saturday's Herald. You can subscribe to the E-edition at www.montereyherald.com
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.
