Thanks for making my eyes get teary at work, you jerk. Very inspirational. I still remember an interview with one of the original Body for Life contest winners, Jamie (something).

Heh that's how I got it - a friend of mine sent me a Sports Illustrated article on them at work and I couldn't help but hold back the tears. There's videos on Youtube of them actually racing I understand. Compared to them we're all a bunch of slackers.
