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.

And so it begins
I can't believe I have officially started marathon training. It feels like just yesterday that Jon and I were bringing Quin home from the hospital, and I felt like I had all the time in the world before the Trials. Regardless, I am in marathon mode and looking forward to some hard, fun workouts. This morning I went out to Toro Park, one of my favorite places to run. Though majority of my run was in the fog, I actually ran high enough to see the sun. I did not see my usual herd of cows, but I did trip and almost land in a big pile of poop. Later this afternoon, Coach Bev, and Quin and I are headed back out to Toro Park to cheer on the PG High Cross Country Team.
