Dara Torres, 41 years old with a 2-year old daughter, just qualified for her 5th Olympic Games!

I remember her from the LA Games in 1984 - back when ABC had the rights and they actually showed events and not soap opera style coverage.

A friend of mine who used to be one of her assistant coaches said she ran into her a few months ago. She was swimming 18,000 meters a day in preparation for the trials (that's 360 laps for those that don't know).

All I managed today was to go walking for 45 minutes. And I only pushed the stroller for half of it. Does carrying around an 11-12 pound baby count for weight lifting? Just kidding. I still haven't been officially cleared for exercising yet, so I am easing into things with walking and stretching.
