Today was the first official AMS running day.
Start Time: 11am-ish. Will normally start much earlier, but had to finish some things before I hit the road.
Weather: High of 52 degrees. Couldn't ask for better weather in the middle of an Iowa winter.

| First pic of the AMS journey. Jim setting off. |
 |
| Stopped by Peak Performance. Great place for runners. |
 |
| Yes. Yes. Yes. |
 |
| Ran to the Sioux City Explorers stadium. |
 |
| Stopped by the Multi Care Physician Group. The last 5 months I have been going here to get chiropractic check ups. |
 |
| Ran into Steve at Quiznos. Steve is one of the awesome physicians at Multi Care. Awesome dude. |
 |
| My buddy Mark, grabbing some lunch with me at Quiznos. He then ran 3.5 miles with me, with an additional 3.5 miles after. He is awesome. |
 |
| This pic I took for Joe. And because Mark had to use their facilities. If you know what I mean. |
 |
| Huge fan of the Community Action Agency. They do some great things in the Sioux City community. |
 |
| Ran over the bridge. Had to take a pic of Charley by the Kay Dee station. Yes, that is an actual cow in the pic. |
 |
| Had to stop at the Post Office to send some AMS items to the winners of SHARE AMS. This pic is for Eddie. |
 |
| the Sioux City post workers were awesome. |
 |
| Sioux City Art Center. Will be speaking here on Thursday evening at 7pm. |
 |
| Sioux City Public Museum. This place is rad. Brand new facility with some really cool stuff about Sioux City. |
 |
| the plaque outside the Museum. Love the quote "May the stories of our past inspire the leaders of tomorrow." |
 |
| Dropped off a couple of AMS t-shirts to SAM and DAVE. They were winners of the SHARE AMS. The t-shirts were made by Mark: hand screen printed. |
 |
| A good way to finish the day. Jerry's Pizza. |
Total miles covered today: 17 miles
Cool story from the run: I was at the Post Office. A lady came up to me, gave me 10 bucks and said, "My daughter loves to run too." It seriously made my day. As I was leaving the Post Office, there was a guy named Richard who looked like he could use a warm meal, so I gave him the 10 bucks. It made his evening. Plus we got to chat for a bit.
Schedule for the week: Will be speaking 8 times this week, beginning tomorrow evening.
Next Long Run: Next Monday. Sioux City to Kingsley. 28 miles.
Running with purpose in every step,
Jim
Inclined to financially support Jim as he runs across Iowa?
