Do You Believe in the Possibilities?

I hope you all have heard of Dana Torres. She’s won 10 Olympic medals and is participating in her fifth Olympics this year in China. She’s 41. She won one of her gold medals 15 months after giving birth to her first child. At the age of 40 she beat her own American record (twice) for 50 m freestyle, set at the age of 15.

To think she has competed against and beat out swimmers half her age is simply awesome. To see that she has gotten better with age and is able to accomplish feats at 40 she couldn’t do at 15 is extraordinary.

She’s my hero this week. How about yours?
