Diana Nyad, aged 64

Just completed the first swim from Cuba to Florida, without a cage. This was a lifelong dream of hers. I have to say, I am so proud of a woman of my generation for making her dream come true. It reinforces my belief that all of us, here on Fit Pal can reach our goals and live our dreams.:flowerforyou:

    Amazing achievement!

    Certainly puts things into perspective and makes you think .... I always think the same when I see people in their later years completing marathons!

    just that...a number. We can do anything we put our mind to...if we want it bad enough.
