Day 25

This rain is making everything sleepy and I decided today would be a rest day from gym. It is possible to overtrain without allowing rest and recovery time for muscles, cells and tissues to repair. I do find however that eating raw allows my body to recover much more quickly than in did in the past and I was reading an article by a lady training for a marathon who found the same thing. I want to introiduce you to our friends from Livewell Farm. Lisa, Brian, their three girls and numerous furry friends live on a beautiful forty acre parcel with views over Marburg. They raise their own livestock and teach their children to care for the animals and the land. A thriving organic veggie patch provides food for local café FourthChild and delicious homecooked gourmet meals the McKay's prepare for themselves and welcomed guests. We did have a dinner date set in January (which had to be rescheduled due to 'In the Raw') but which I am looking forward to later in the year! Brian makes his own sourdough and Lisa teaches piano, sews gorgeous Australian stuffed toys, sumptuous linen table settings and her bright and friendly sunflowers are now available for purchase at Cutliver. The McKays's approach to life is simple - care for the land and animals, enjoi wholesome home-grown, homemade meals with friends and family and livewell! I think we will take our nephews to visit on our next outing. Come on Brian - time to experiment with some raw cuisine, it's easy!!
