Women, Get It Together

Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In launches today, and like any other plugged-in, ambitious twentysomething, I pre-ordered it and can’t wait to rip into the book that should be sitting in my mailbox right now.

“I deadlift all the time. But lighter.”

I can’t make this kind of thing up. You can also imagine how livid I was when this gym gem occurred recently at the Aspen Club, but I will try to maintain the humorous approach … I’m working on deficit deadlifts at 245#. Even if you don’t know what that means, just know that is me [...]
