I'm back on track for the 75+ for RLS!

Joseph Kenney here and I'm back! Yes, I've been away for some time due to a few injuries. Shortly after my last blog post I not only re-injured my right knee but injured my left knee as well. I was devastated and had a very difficult time knowing I would be unable to complete my 75 miles for RLS.  It turned out my right knee was no worse than before. I was suffering from an additional I.T. band strain but the patellar tendon was still in the same shape. My left knee, however, is now damaged but the tendon tear is much smaller than on the right side. Additionally the misalignment of the patella is causing quite a bit of pain.  I contacted the filming crew in NY and informed them of my injuries and cancelled the filming project. It was a decision that has plagued me since.  Lance Armstrong was said that pain is temporary and quitting is forever. It was this quote that has re-ignited my passion for completing this RLS run. I am still preparing to complete the 75 miles. I may not be able to run it but will certainly complete the distance no matter how long it takes. Those suffering from RLS at night have no option to quit in the middle of the night nor should I have the option to quit. My training has changed dramatically since I'm unable to do much with my legs at this point. I continue to focus on visualization and working my upper body. I would appreciate your prayers and support in the coming weeks.
