Thank you all for your encouraging replies. Seeing that others are excited for me, helps keep my motivation up to continue training. Ohcarolina, I am not familiar with DESA. What is that?? I have decided to run the Chicago Marathon this year. It takes place October 12th. That will give me about six months to prepare, and train for a Boston qualifying time. Hopefully, after that, look out Boston...this diabetic is coming!!!
