Another Goal Set - a REAL stretch for me!

Last weekend I attend the first ever Chicks Connect Inspiration Celebration in Lake Oswego, OR.  We're all about supporting women with love and friendship through  personal and professional growth.
There I met Rachelle's friend, Wendi McDonald, from Vancouver, BC. 
Wendi is  passionate about helping women initiate a healthy
lifestyle through diet and exercise. 
 
Wendi has quite the story of overcoming/living with Diabetes by making a lifestyle change which included learning to cook healthy, losing over a 100 lbs, battling a cancer diagnosis  and getting back on a bicycle for exercise.  She went from riding around the block to 19 miles every day!
Can you imagine?
 
With Rachelle and Wendi's encouragement, I'm now in the early stages of training for the Tour de Cure Bike Ride for Diabetes. (super early - like just blogging about it)  The Ride is in the summer of 2014.  We have a Cycle Chicks Connect group on Facebook and developing details
will be posted there.  
 
So Excited and Inspired to ride with my fellow Chicks and to learn
from such a caring person like Wendi and her bff "apprentice" Rachelle.

I know you will be inspired too!
