I want to do more.

I like the way I look in spandex.

I catch glimpses of myself in mirrors and go, 'wait, is that me?'

my other sport/hobbies have improved as well

my consideration of distances has changed completely. also hills.
-----> me: i rode 63 miles today them: what, 63 miles are you crazy? me: yeah, i totally wussed out and should have done the full century
-----> me: oh man, that hill looks fun me(thinking): did i really just say that??
