“Experience Raw, Experience Life”
TV Host & Gourmet Raw Food Chef Kirsten Gum
Dear MMM Athletes:
2011 is about growth, progress! Why not start this year by making sure your body gets what it needs for energy – ALL NATURAL, ORGANIC, NUTRIENT DENSE FOOD.. just the way Mother Nature intended! Have you ever heard of eating RAW? Now’s your chance to ask questions! I’m a certified instructor from the Living Light Culinary Art Institute.. and more importantly, I am energized to help you make GREAT decisions on what you put in your mouth, after all we are the results of what we eat!!
Raw foods are not a new way of eating, rather eating RAW is how our ancestors ate – connecting and respecting Mother Earth. You’ll be amazed at how easy & delicious healthy food can be! My mission is to help society connect with their food and connect with the planet. I’m ready to teach you how to incorporate raw foods into your diet!!!
And I’m even bringing samples!!! Don’t miss this opportunity to live, learn and love!! See you on Monday at MMM. And I can’t wait to enjoy a raw margarita with you at El Charro after our walk/run.
See you Monday!
Hugs,
Kirsten

DID YOU EARN YOUR SHIRT/CAP ON MONDAY?
Those who earned shirts/caps on Monday will receive them next Monday. Thank you for being so understanding this week. We felt that the shirts/caps awards and the raffle were best postponed. But what list we have for Monday!!
More than 635 MMM Athletes expressed their love and respect those affected by this terrible tragedy. Nice to see so many MMM families.
It was hard to slow this group down long enough to take the photo.
Three running machines…Lucas Tyler, Toby Freebourn and Dan Maher.
