Ultramarathon Man Dean Karnazes
This guy is amazing. Although he doesn't fit my usual requirement of being a normal person pursuing and achieving moderate fitness goals, he is definitely a specimen worthy of respect.

I look forward to his book "Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner," coming out on March 17, 2005.
