Welcome to the running public with Brack and Crocker and Kirk DeWint.

It's Tuesday, folks, and you know what that means, Training Tuesday.

We are going to take every rabbit hole, follow tangents, use useless metaphors, get lost in the weeds.

This is Training Tuesday.

When you're ready to take your training or racing to the next level, go to the running public.com.

We have both monthly subscription training plans, $1999 a month, and Bracken and I both offer one-on-one customized coaching.

Again, go to the running public.com and check out our offerings.

Bracken, happy birthday.

Thank you, Kirk.

You as well. 37 years on this planet birthday. Thank you, Kirk. You as well.

37 years on this planet, is that correct?

38 now. 38. My goodness. Did you feel different waking up this morning?

Felt tired. I forgot it was my birthday until I woke up to a bunch of texts on my birthday.

Like, it didn't even occur to me really when I went to sleep the night prior. Like, blips in my mind, but, you know, maybe are we at the age where it just sort of like,

as long as it's a nice day, that's all I can really ask. An enjoyable day. I think we're both the type

that if we didn't have other people in our life, we would probably not be super aware that it's our birthday.

Probably.

I mean, you're recording on your birthday.

You're doing a regular day at home, I believe, correct?

Today's a funny one because Lisa works from home part-time,

but she has to go into the office once per month.

And so far it's been on Mir's birthday and it's been on my birthday now.
