Agree completely! It sounds as if she respects who you are, not trying to remake you into some artificial ideal of an athlete.
Now me, I have a conflict: I run AND swim, and my body can't decide if it wants to be round or thin. (Well, to some degree it aims toward "round" when within viewing distance of beer, dark chocolate, etc.) ;)
