Four States? Is it possible?

Joseph Kenney here with a crazy idea. Is it possible to create a route for September's 75 miles for RLS run that would cover the states of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska? Could it be created to still finish in Omaha? I will do a little research and get back to you soon.

This mornings training for the RLS run focused on strength training the upper body. We started with the bench press and moved into Lat Pulldowns, Bent Over Rows, Incline Flys, Shoulder Presses and leg raises for the ab work out.

One change in nutrition includes switching to a slow release protein for the night time snack. This will prevent the body from going "catabolic" and causing damage to the muscles.  The nutrition is going well overall as it is closely monitored by Rye Roberts of Rye Fit Nutrition.  I have reduced my weight from 187.7 to 170.8 in the past 10 weeks. My fat % has reduced significantly and my lean muscle mass has increased dramatically.  We will continue to monitor the weight loss and if necessary begin adding additional "good" calories back into the diet.

I'm scheduled for physical therapy and brain balancing tomorrow.

Hey RLS Joe, thats a great idea! By the way, have you set a date for the run yet and how can other people get involved. I don't know anybody else who could do the 75 miles but I know several who would be interested in doing part of it. How do they get involved? Let us know,
