and bracken and I both offer one-on-one customized coaching again go to the running public

dot com and check out our offerings all right kirk today is a Q&A day so we're based these are

bullet point episodes right we just have bullet points rather than a flow, really. Is that accurate? Very accurate. There's never a flow. No. So I want to intro with bullet points. Oftentimes, one of us has something we want to talk about. Instead, I have just like a few odds and ends. I just want to put out there into the universe to our listeners.

I'm listening.

I'm one of your listeners at this moment.

First of all, I'm fully back in like I'm training and so I'm gear testing mode.

So I've been going through everything.

Every single back like chest vest pack version I own, every version every handheld every trail shoe all like all the

gear i have has been back through there's not a piece of gear i own outside of trekking poles and

gators that i that has not been used by me in the last seven weeks.

Love it.

And?

I have some thoughts.

Well, I figured you did.

I'm still listening.
