Good luck, I'll be rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. I still have this lingering injury so we shall see what happens. I even tried to quit. It is fun, exciting and interesting being around strong people...both mentally and physically. And what I've found, men and women really know how to support each other in this environment. My motto will be have fun but don't go beyond what you are physically capable at the moment. I don't need any permanent injuries.
