Dara Torres was a worldwide story of hope and success during the 2008 Beijing Olympics,
winning medals in the world's most important (some say) sporting event at the absolutely ridiculous age of 41. But, as she is detailing in her new book, "Age Is Just a Number," she did all this while being a mother too.
That's not to say that Torres is focusing on herself in the book though -- her goal is to prove to mothers and, presumably, anyone else, that age is not a deterrent for success. At least that's the impression she gave in a recent interview with Mom Logic.
She writes in her new book, "Age is Just a Number," that after having a baby, the constant waking up actually gaveher a competitive edge in swimming. Torres believes overcoming odds gives you the strength and energy to reach your goals.
Momlogic talked to the supermom about her life, family ... and that fab bod!
Throughout the interview, Torres dishes on advice for women dealing with success, ranging from how to lose baby fat all the way to managing a relationship with a child while being a professional athlete unable to spend a lot of time with said offspring.
And I'll be honest here -- this type of interview isn't really ever my cup of tea, by any stretch of the imagination. (I'm neither a mom, an Olympic swimmer nor an individual seeking to be one of those things, after all.) But the truth is, Torres is a fascinating story, and regardless of the fact that her situation in no way reflects mine, I'm still interested in hearing what she has to say.Because I think it's no stretch whatsoever to state that all of us would like to achieve the same level of success as Torres when we're
