41 & Freakin' Amazing

April 13, 2009

Dara Torres. She’s faster when wet. And a dream machine.

She’s 41, a 5-time Olympic swimmer and a new mom, who was still nursing while competing in Beijing. Dang!

Dara Torres talks the straight talk in her new book “Age Is Just A Number,” about doubt, belief and never giving up. She’s open about her bulimia battle, divorce, motherhood, competition and more.

Why accept society’s too-often belief that we should retire our dreams with age or with motherhood? Torres is proof that mind over matter and matter of circumstances is what it really takes.

And that new-mom rockin’ body, we can all dream to have that (and kudos to those who do!).


Some other PLM reco’d reads worth checking out: True Mom Confessions, Not The Life I Ordered, If Women Ran The World and Quiet Mind.
