Ok peeps time to do a good deed or three and brighten the day of a stranger for no particular reason.

Your mission should you choose to accept it:
  • Go to another forum: Triathlon Talk, Introduce yourself, Strength, Nutrition..whatever
  • Find a newish user who logs their training
  • Leave them an Inspire
  • Repeat as you are willing and able
  • Report back here

Great idea! I used to do this from the BT Blogger--> Random updates, needs inspired link but got away from it.

I got in three just now but had to go to about 10 users logs; some are not logging (boo) and some are set to private. I'm never sure why people do that, new or otherwise.

Good stuff.  My first inspire was from someone doing this.  It made me happy.

I probably looked at 20 or so logs... I only found three with recent logging...

 

Mike, are you trying to get us to do your job, performing an informal survey of how many folks are logging or are you really trying to get us to reach out?   

 

I think I did three.... maybe four...

Done - but it is time consuming to find folks that are relatively new that log their workouts that are publicly viewable...oh BT gurus = how can this be easier (if there was a link that I could follow somewhere that is called something like, "needs random inspire" - I'd do it all day long (inspire that is))?

Will keep trying to do this in the next couple of weeks. Please let me know if there is an increase in the stalking complaints.

I'd occasionally make a game out of this:

1.  Inspire someone on your own friend's list
2.  Pick someone from that person's friends list and inspire them
3.  Repeat step #2, ad nauseum
4.  Keep a count of how many people you can inspire without:

     a.  Sending an inspire to someone on your own list
     b.  Sending an inspire to someone you've already sent one to

Keep going until you reach a dead end.  No "backing up and trying again" if you can't proceed any further, i.e. you run into someone who has no friends on their list OR you run into a blog that can't be viewed.  Those situations are just tough luck and part of the game.
