"Each day, I'm compensating for one particular injury, and then something else gets worse. I really don't know how much longer I can keep doing this how much longer my body can take this. I'm going to keep doing it as long I can because we're still in it. I'm not thinking about shutting it down as long as we still have a chance." |
