There are so many people who inspire me all the time!!! Some of the one that inspire me to run:
1) @joe_runfordom: Runs to raise money for his friend with Cancer
2) @msruntheus-Running across the US to raise money for MS
There are so many out there that are training for their first races from 5K to Ironman’s. They inspire me everyday!

I nominate my very good friend Danielle (@RTdanielle09). She is my inspiration and motivation to run and push myself. She is a marathoner who is training to be a marathon maniac. Without her I’d still be sitting on my couch eating chips and drinking beer! Now I’m training for my first marathon! Daneille is a supporter of Operation Jack and helping to raise money and awareness for his cause and Train 4 Autism!

I’d like to nominate Nti over @ http://www.moretolife.me. She went from couch to tri all while raising money for cancer. I wrote about her in this post http://www.rungivelove.com/2010/05/20-something-awesome-1/

I have a friend @karenmrogers who is attempting the Farallon Islands to San Francisco tomorrow morning with English Channel rules (1 cap, 1 regular suit, goggles). It has only been finished by 2 men and never by a woman. You can watch her GPS progress here http://karenmrogers.com/spot-me-2/
Here is hoping for calm seas and great conditions.

I recently picked up an old copy of Bicycle magazine and read this man’s incredible story… known as “Large Fella on a Bike” on his blog, that has now ended. He lost 330lbs between November 2005 – 2009 by taking up cycling.

I’m going to have to buck the trend and nominate myself. I’m @DenaS on Twitter. One year ago, I weighed close to 300 lbs. Thanks to gastric bypass in December and some major lifestyle changes I’m almost half the woman I once was. I’m still losing and could use, as you said yourself, a major exercise wardrobe makeover. I’m run/walking and I’m signed up for a fitness bootcamp class beginning at the end of the month.
Whenever I meet someone who’s considering gastric bypass, I tell him or her my story and let them know that I’m happy to discuss my decision with them in depth. It’s the best decision I ever made!
