I’ve just brought my Giant time trial bike back from having a service. Took it along to the new bike shop in Abingdon – Outdoor Traders – website here - really impressed with the service and I look forward to time trialing on a faster “Miss Pink” bike on Sunday

I am currently in the process of working on my Internal Verification qualificaion at Abingdon College. This is interesting and a good next step for me in my teaching career, but it’s taking up a lot of time!!!! Am cracking on through it though and hope to be finished in a month or so.
Another course that I am planning on doing in the next few weeks is my Reiki 1 course with Kath at Reiki Ribbons – website here. Very much looking forward to finding out more information about Reiki – will keep you all informed.

Try following these 5 tips to help stay injury free -
1) Stretch regularly – the tighter the muscle the more it will need to be stretched
2) Train smart part 1 – cross train – do something different to give your body a break
3) Train smart part 2 – rest and recover regularly – don’t over do it
4) Drink lots of water – dehydration is a big cause of cramp in muscles
5) Have a massage regularly – to identify tight areas of muscles that need extra stretching, and to help keep the muscles in good condition.
Enjoy training and stay injury free

Am looking forward to a full day at Abingdon Rowing Club Head Race today. I’m massaging for the day – £5 for 10 minutes. It’s in Rye Meadows in Abingdon, so pop down to see me if you’re about. Here’s to hoping the sun will shine

Ever stopped to think about your best 5 achievements to date? Here’s mine with some photos……a little glimse into the life of Laura
(in no particular order)
1) Being self employed for 5 years

2) Making my wedding dress


3) Wearing the dress
And marrying Mike

4) Completing the London Duathlon in 2005 – my first big event – not my hardest or my fastest – but probably the one I am most proud of

5) Having a dog – Helly – now a year and a half old – and looking after something that relies on you to keep them alive and happy

And here’s to the many more achievements and happy memories to come

Hope you all had a nice Easter weekend, I was up in the Lake District with Mike and Helly staying in our campervan.
We did 3 excellent days walking – up and down and up and down the hills of the Lake District. What a beautiful, amazing, and wet place!!
