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.

10 Mile USA Championships
Ijust got back from a short trip to Minneapolis for the 10 Mile USA Road Championships. I am happy to report that I am pleased with the race and finished 3rd overall in a solid field of competition. There was a large group of about 15 women until about the 5 mile mark where the race broke down to about five. By mile 7, we were down to 3 and gradually Janet Cherobon, the eventual winner and current 20k Champions pulled away to win in 54:15. Julie Culley finished 2nd in 54:28 and is the current 5k USA Champion. I rounded out number three in 54:44 roughly 5:29 mile pace.
Results and a video of the finish can be found here.
