In her column this week Blake talks about striking a balance as an elite athlete and a mother. She feels lucky not to have missed many of young Quin's firsts (first words, first steps), but still faces tough choices, like when she arrived home after a long run and Quin insisted they go bike riding. Let's hear it for cross-training!

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.
