I've done it every year with my own lungs.

This year I'm going to do it with someone else's.

The operation is tomorrow.

And my first day of training will be after that.

Even if its just one step out of bed.

And the next day one more step down the hall.

I'm going to make it to the finish line.

See you in November New York Marathon,

Tony
