AND WHEN YOU CROSS THE FINISH LINE
YOU WILL BE:
“VICTORIOUS IN VANCOUVER!”
WE ARE HEADED TO CANADA!
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA = 5315 MILES
NO MATTER IF YOU HAVE LOST WEIGHT,
HAD A NON-SCALE VICTORY,

OR LEARNED A NEW WORKOUT ROUTINE
YOU HAVE ALL BEEN “VICTORIOUS”
IN SOME WAY!
FRAMED BY MOUNTAINS, AND SET BESIDE THE SEA,
VANCOUVER IS A BIG CITY SURROUNDED BY NATURE!
IT IS QUITE SIMPLY AMAZING!
