As a former collegiate swimmer, Dara Torres is both awe-inspiring and depressing. The book looks pretty cool. Thanks for the post :)

Sounds like it would be a good read.
Actually, for some reason she both inspires /and/ depresses me. I am really glad there are books out there geared toward people who are not quite as young as they used to be. I’m also a bit depressed that I don’t look like Dana Torres. I bet if I did the exercises she describes, I’d look a lot more like her than I do now. Or at least I’d feel better about it :)

so many good points in here!!

like how it’s important to find that part of you that doesn’t see exercise as exercise, but something fun to do…A-men! i know from personal experience, if you see exercise as not a chore but something you truly enjoy, you’ll be ten times more likely to stick with it. i found i love running 5 years ago and will never look back.

the reminder about recovery time was a good one also. being an endorphine junkie, it’s a struggle to keep off the Reeboks, but in the end, taking a day off is SO worth it because i run SOOO much better after my muscles have recoverd. (duh.)
