Reason: I feel like I'm just throwing another penny on Antonio's list of people that he's inspiring but eh, the crazy training info we share is making me realize that I do know a lot. I just need to put the info we share into practice, which is what he's always doing. Thanks for making me feel like the super slacker.

Reason: dnsigma is probably a bit too modest about his conditioning. He asks questions, writes some of the most intelligent and articulate posts on this site and appears to strive for more out of life than just being the biggest, most ripped person on the site. Geez, I want a Ph.D too. His profile often reminds me that I'm procratinating with a few things and the fact he's in incredible shape just ... yeah, I just got reminded I've got some work to do. Thanks

Reason: This dude works 2, 3, or 5 jobs. Hell, I don't know. Has a family and manages to get his training AND bodyspace gossip/report time in. This is madness. He even has my original power ring. *sigh*

Reason: LMAO, this guy has been competing with me since he first joined and has gone through a number of CRAZY hardships. He didn't even post progress pics for a year and a half and I always said, "Eh, time will tell." He was so NOT moving me at a faster pace than my usual. Then he posts pics and now I feel like, "Damn, he's close." So I guess I have been truly inspired not just by the dramatic work effort (which is to be commended) but by the challenge, even though I'm not really that competitive.

Reason: I don't think the great doctor realizes that through the information exchanges and things he's put into practice, that he's had me REALLY seriously consider a multidisciplinary career change. I keep thinking, "Eh, it would be a hell of a change but being immersed in it and looking the part at 40-something wouldn't be a bad idea at all". So lol at the fact that not only am I getting training guidance, but also a bit of possible career guidance as well.

Reason: Because much like myself, mikeyWRX trains and struggles through the trials and tribulations of myasthenia gravis. MG really breaks you down but to be able to keep on going is inspirational enough.

Reason: No gym for 26 miles, over 40 and in wonderful shape thanks to "fitness in the outdoors". Just shows that you really can be in wonderful shape when you have nothing but a field and trees to train with. I just hope he doesn't talk to them.

Reason: This dude is keeping me the slacker on my toes and he doesn't even realize it. He's not even trash talking which almost makes it even worse. LOL, too bad he's not falling for my attempts at more training insanity than is required. :-D
