FITNESS IS FUN
May 14, 2008
So, early Friday morning, I dropped my children off at my friends house. (Thanks to all my friends who watch my children while I race. You are all such lifesavers:)).From there I headed to the Naval Base in San Diego. I was off to do my first Aquathon. I was a little unsure how it would go. I usually like the race regardless of what I am asked to do, and this one was no different. It was a great race. There is just something that is indescribable about being out there racing. I love just pushing my body so hard, and seeing how well it can perform. Luckily, I performed well enough to win in the women's division. 
So iIn an effort to motivate me to exercise with Sofie, I signed Spencer and I up for a 5K. The whole day before the race it rained and was so dark and dreary. I was so excited when I woke up the morning of the race and the sun was shining-it turned out to be a beautiful morning. It was also really fun the our good friends Lori and Richard ran it with us. Niether Spencer or I had done a 5 K before so it was pretty exciting that Spencer took 7th over all and ran it in just a hair over 19 min. I didn't have a grand entry like Spencer or anything but I was pleased with my time and actually had a blast.

I loved the classes! As a mother of young children, it was so great to spend an evening with Jaylene, learning of ways to improve my family's health. I have incorporated many of her recipes into our diet. My favorite? The Coleslaw. We have it at least twice a week.

Thank you for providing such a needed service to our community. It recharges my raw food battery when I come to your home and see all the wonderful living food and how you prepare it.

Jaylene's "Forget Cooking" class was a wealth of information. My favorite part was the food and tasting! It was helpful to see if I liked the recipes and, later, to compare with mine as I try to make them.

After attending Jaylene's classes, I come home and try the recipes on my husband. It's so common to hear him say, "This is good. This is REALLY good!"

I hope to be able to go to more of Jaylene's classes, and eventually, to eat completely like Jaylene. Jaylene is truly an inspiration and example to me, and her passion for raw organic food has inspired me with that same passion.
