Richards intro

Hello from Eugene,
This is my first attempt at "blogging" so please be patient all. I have taken up the Newport Marathon torch and because of my advancing age (pretty early to throw an age card but better to establish that right off the bat!) I am really looking forward to the advil, ben-gay and sauna's that are so often associated with a good run. But, Mike has assured me that this will be a fun, exciting and tremendously fulfilling endeavor....right?
