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.

Looking for races
As great as the training is on the Monterey Penninsula, it’s tough finding any competitive races, particuarly this time of year. The good thing about living in Boston was having a series of track races I could run, and plenty of high-caliber road races within driving distance. It’s nice to not have to travel too far and lose training time getting to races across the country. Racing is really the best workout you can do because it’s hard to simulate that intensity in training.
