It’s out! Okay, not everywhere, it takes a bit of time…but the June issue of Runner’s World is out and none other than our sister hero Lauren Fleshman is on the cover, and sharing her gems of 5K wisdom within.
Which takes us back…
Her last cover was in 2011 - when we hadn’t fully stalked our way into her heart - and were just fans like everyone else. And it was then that she did something really cool. She told us Fleshmaniacs that if we sent our RW issues to her, she would autograph and return them. Anyone. All of us. Hot dog!
Later, we heard how it was a bit of chaos, handling the 100’s of copies that came her way, and the unknowns that you might imagine come along with snail mail. But we also heard how she loved having that direct contact with her fans. With us! It was amazing, and the cover hangs proudly on the wall of The Nest today.
So…to celebrate her return to the cover, we’re going big…repeating the personal autograph offer AND giving the first 1000 fans something new, and hot off the presses: our Lauren Fleshman Power Doll. Yes! It's just like the paper dolls you remember, but 100% more kick ass.
So let’s run through the list:
