I now have muscle, three years ago I weighed almost 20 lbs less than I do now (also started climbing then, so it's not all legs). It may not all be muscle , but I still say I look much better now than I used to.

The opurtunity to wear the brightest tops that I can find.

To feel tough wearing my biking gloves.

Many, many bruises.

The chance to play outside more.

An excuse to get dirty.
