..............................................................Why my friends think I'm crazy
- I have a flock of suburban chickens.
- On my suburban "farm" we also raise rabbits for meat.
- I lived for 27 months in rural Malawi, Africa and LOVED every minute without electricity, water, cellphone network.
- I built my own house, I eat (and share!) my own food.
- I completed my first 3 half marathons in 3 months, now I'm training for a full marathon.
- My dog trains with me, and finished one of those half marathons with me.
we only have one life, let's participate in it together.
