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.

I have to tell you that I made a horrible mistake last night. I took the chapstick out of this

room and used it in a different room and I didn't put it back. And now suddenly your lips are

feeling very dry, huh? Yeah. And I reach for it and it's not there and like immediately 300%

drier. How often do you reach for chapstick and or lipstick

throughout the day, Bracken? Uh, total or individually? How many applications per day are we

talking? 10. Oh, that's not bad. I was thinking the compulsive chapstick applicators are like

every 10 minutes. Oh, no, I'm not compulsive.

I just don't like the feeling of dry lips.

So at first hint, I put it on.

It's not always chapstick.

We have like Vaseline stations in the house.

We have lanolin deposits.

We have chapstick everywhere.

We don't do a lot of things right, but our lip moisturizer game is pretty solid.

I don't know how to react to that, but I will say that applying chapstick is like a self-fulfilling prophecy,
