Ok, so this isn't really a nutrition-focused blog entry...unless you consider that this 61-year old lady must know a thing or two about good nutrition in order to power her body from Cuba to the Florida Keys. I am talking about SWIMMING from Cuba to the Keys, people!
She's amazing! Diana Nyad has been a long-distance swimmer for quite some time and holds the world record for the longest ocean swim (102 miles.) Apparently she also knows how to manage her own fear or at least she knows how to manage what I'd be afraid of...the dark, deep ocean water and what swims in it! She'll be swimming for 3 days, which includes the pitch-black nights...with sharks!
Check her out and be inspired to get out there and get moving.
