Welcome Dick to our UjENA FIT Club. Our computer found some of the races you have run. If any of these are not yours, just delete them and add others. We also posted the video you use when you give a presentation. It is hard to believe that 2012 will be 30 years since your Duel In The Sun at the Boston Marathon. Glad to see you are running well again and will be running this years Boston Marathon. Last time I saw you (Sonoma in July) you were not able to run. Keep us up todate as you get ready. We are behind you 100%...
