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.

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.

Happy birthday, Bracken.

Happy birthday, Kirk.

It's just the love fest over here. So I always forget our age discrepancy, but is it three years or four years? I just turned 37. So it's four years,

because I just turned 41. In fact, it's four years in three days, technically. Three days. and i thought you were the 18th and then just

posted on the 17th 17th yes everyone in my life not everyone but my dad's the seventh my uncle who's

not actually blood uncle but is closer to me than any of my uncles he has has an adopted son. He's the six. So we have the

sixth and the seventh. My parents' anniversary is the 15th. My brother's birthday is the 19th. I'm the 20th,

and I thought you were the 18th, but you're the 17th. Most of the people in my life are clumped right in the

same couple weeks here. I share my exact birthday with four people I know, and of which two I'm fairly close with.

And maybe it's just because it's my birthday and we're all, you know, we're the center

of our own universes, but it feels like there's a ridiculous amount of people in this

like couple week window whose birthdays are now and maybe everybody feels that way about

their birthday because they're more in tuned with the thing surrounding their birthday but i feel

like it's everybody's birthday in this last week or two so happy birthday to us and everybody else

in the world apparently absolutely so um we're going to jump into uh episode quick here, but I just want to know real quick
