How I’m Doing, Really via @laurenfleshman
Me last weekend. 155lbs. This picture is so ridiculous I just had to share it. How I’m Doing, Really Honestly? Pretty shitty. Even though pregnancy takes an average of 40 weeks, Lima Bean is considered “full term” at 37 weeks today....[Read on]

Boston Marathon: Come Hang Out With Me! (via @asklaurenfleshman)
Ahhhh, Boston. At long last, the big marathon weekend is here. The elite drama; the hum of nervous energy and enthusiasm of the masses; the squeakers; the history; the miles of KT Tape and gallons of Icy Hot. The race numbers; the shwag; the last minute...[Read on]

A Letter to Lance Armstrong: A Fellow Pro Athlete’s Plea

We Met on the Internet, and Now We’re Hitched!!! (@laurenfleshman blog)
It all started with Twitter in 2010. Everyone was talking about it. Ashton Kutcher was doing it. I finally signed up. I didn’t get it. So when someone followed me, I’d scan through their tweets to get a feel for how other people were using i...[Read on]
Why I’m No Longer with Nike
So I’m in our Picky Bars staff meeting a couple weeks ago. The way it works is, before the meeting, we all post an outline of the topics we want to discuss on one shared Google doc, and then we work our way through it one person at a time. I’m scanni...[Read on]
