Heidi's 3 Day / 60 Mile Walk

Wow what a weekend. I was really all over the place on this one. On Friday we had business as usual plus many private lessons. Saturday included teaching the Kids and then running a punching bag booth at a Fall Festival which really rocked. I then picked up Kurt and we hit the road to Dallas around 630pm. Truly an easy two days compared to what my wife and another 3199 people went through on these days.

You could see the push, drive and passion once again in so many faces that did the Susan Komen 3 Day. It was amazing to see everyone at the last cheer station on Sunday as they just kept going. One foot infront of the other. It once again is awesome to see something that probably started off as a simple idea - get super charged into something much bigger.

For our 2x Black Belt Heidi this was her third walk and man did she have such and great pace. She really seemed to be making great time on most of the days. It seemed a little slower on Sunday with the crowds at the bathrooms, etc.; but she made really good time and was able to finish the entire 60 miles strong!!!

Once again, thank you to all those that have made her journey worth it. So many of you donated money, time and more to help her get to this wonderful event. It is this kind of selfless-ness that will truly change the world. Be sure to ask Heidi how it felt and give her a big hug of congrats because she really did us all proud!!! Love ya Heidi - Guro Larry
