July 10, 2010

Day 1, and what a day. Awoke at 0300 and left for Tulsa. Got to the Tulsa Airport to find out my first flight was about 30 minutes late. Landed in Dallas, switched terminals and made my connecting flight with ten minutes to spare. Landed in Des Moines Iowa at about 1110.
Was met at the airport by a lot of supporters, grabbed my baggage and onto a motor home which drove us up to Ames, Iowa. Tonight we begin with a mile long run at 630 and recieve the torch for the begining of the Final Leg. Then it is off to dinner later tonight, and Omaha in the morning.
