Shalane Flanagan is really running well now, as evidenced by her dominant victory in the women's 10,000 meters Thursday night. She ran a 30:59.97, a Hayward Field record. Kara Goucher of the Oregon Project in Portland was second in 31:16.65 and Jen Rhines was third in 31:30.37.
The other day, Coach Sev told me, "It’s time for coach to get mean. We’ve got a lot of work to do.” He’s not kidding, making this next Olympic Team is going to be a lot tougher than the last time because there are more women running well.
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.
