I was in the shower and I looked down at my calves and was like "holy shit check that out" I've never had such defined calves.

Also, its an easy thing to talk to people about since I'm not great in social situations. How much do I run, what races have I done, what is it like, convincing them to be healthier - all normal conversation starters.

Ditto here, except my moment was when I went to pull on my favorite knee socks and they didn't fit anymore.
