You know how some girls are super cute when they exercise? I run by them on the street, with their adorable ponytails and color-coordinated athletic clothing. Hardly breaking a sweat and certainly not breathing hard, they jog effortlessly by with some variation on a theme of "Mmm-bop" undoubtedly coursing through their iPod earbuds.
I am not one of those girls. My hair, not long enough for a ponytail, is held up with a random assortment of variously colored and sized clips, which does not come across as messy-but-adorable, but pretty much just plain messy. My running clothes, chosen for their utility, are mismatched--usually some variety of purple shirt, black pants, tan gloves, blue hat. The no makeup situation doesn't convey 'fresh and alive!', but more along the lines of 'yes, I just rolled out of bed and am not quite awake yet.' My nose red from the cold and face flushed from the exertion, my post-run state is certainly not my most attractive. Let's just say I'm pretty sure I won't be meeting the man of my dreams mid-5k.
Ah well, what can you do? We can't all be super cute and athletic. Let's just hope the looking-like-crap attempted athleticism contributes to some measure of cuteness when not engaged in aerobic activity :-).

I laughed as I read this because I know kind of "cute workout girls". I am also not one of them. However we've worked out together and I'd say you are pretty darn cute :)
Love you.
