sotodernstsuess asked: hej laura, today is the day I have to say to you that you're one half of my tumblr-twin-heroins (the other half is Mari). Finally got a tumblr so I don't have to tell you anonymously anymore :) I love your writing and your sarcasm. hugs!
Things can only get better!
Yay! Let’s be positive cos after spending 45 minutes on the bathroom floor this morning with stomach cramps things can’t get much worse!
Apparently there is a tummy bug going around college too. Come get me illnesses and I will fight you off with drugs and sarcasm!
Pow!

What colour should I get? →
Each month when I get paid I am donating to a fitblr who is fundraising for a race or event, and this month it is my pal Sam.
I am going to get one of the #crystalmazing t-shirts seeing as I am the comedy genius that came up with the phrase, but I can’t decide which colour to get. I already have my wbaw tee in Raspberry, so I want to pick a different one - which colour should I get?

Dear IBS
I would like to thank you for timing tonight’s crippling stomach pains with the advert breaks in American Idol so I didn’t miss any of the action.
Let’s continue this through ‘Strictly Baby Disco’.
Love Me.
P.S I hate you.

I am a picture of beauty.
If your idea of beauty is a someone with a nose full of snot.
I am giving myself 2 days to get over this - skipping today’s 3 miles in favour of being better for 10 miles on Sunday.

I had a revelation tonight. I don’t like running. I fucking hate it. After two years of consistent running the light bulb went off tonight. Running sucks….seriously. Power walking? Great! Running? Sucky.

Rest Days.
I have come to realise that rest days no longer mean doing nothing when you are training for a marathon.
They involve stretching and foam rolling and icing and massage and hot baths and easing away the pain of the last run and eating the right foods and taking the right supplements and thinking about the next run.
Not only is this marathon training taking up a lot of my actual time, it is also...

Hey Tumblr - I've only got 9 days left
mandabears:
I’ve entered this contest where I can win a free photoshoot with a fabulous pinup photographer. The catch is, they’re not judging by how many “likes” the photo gets, they want comments of WHY the person deserves to win.If you could be so kind as to click here & say a few nice words about me, it would mean a lot.
Help a girl out people!

Cutting down on the caffeine + 9 miles + general tiredness = 1 sleepy Laura.
I predict that my Sundays until May will consist of a long run and then not moving from my bed for the rest of the day.

Another stunningly awkward video. This time with some music!
DONATE HERE!
I say that I LOL quite a lot. That is usually a lie. It is normally a little inner chuckle (LIC?), but I genuinely LOL’d at this.

The Boys of Body Pump
After last week’s rant about tiny shorts I feel as though this could stretch into a little mini series about the boys who come to my Body Pump classes.
This week we shall focus on what I affectionately call ‘the knobheads at the back’.
They appeared on Thursday and were there again today. Let’s take a moment to identify their key characteristics:
They hunt in packs -...

Marathon Training Wk4 Run2 Part2
Mood Before: Not too shabby
Energy Before: Still sleepy
Weather: Gym
Distance Required: 2 miles
Music: Katy Perry Top 10! :)
The Run
This was the additional 2 miles that I was meant to run last. I jumped on the treadmill after Body Pump and my legs felt quiet tired, plus my bum muscles were killing me! I had a good stretch afterwards in preperation for tomorrow’s 9 miles.

For F**ks Sake.
Since we signed up for Edinburgh I have been bugging my two friends to book our accommodation. I did a ton of research, gave them loads of options and still they wouldn’t make a decision. I really wanted to book it early for piece of mind and as I am on a budget this year.
Last week H pulled out as her doctor has advised her not to run, so I turned the search from apartments to a twin...
