00:00Yeah, really just getting the strength back and, you know,

00:08mobility is just continuing these days of work.

00:10And when I'm there, I'll be there and I'll be out there ready.

00:14So, yeah, obviously a competitor.

00:15I want to be out there, but just doing what I can.

00:18It's a blessing to even be here right now and be alive,

00:20to be in Chicago on this amazing team.
