I met an amazing coach at the track last week (he works out there as much as I do - we just had not talked before) and he is one of the two guys I ran my 20 miler on Saturday with.  I am going to hook on with him sooner rather than later.  The guy is a pretty incredible runner in his own right too and the nicest, most humble guy I've ever met.  I am pretty darn good at following instructions, for sure.

Very good.

I also think you'll have spectacular results with a coach--you've got so much incredible natural talent, a canned plan and winging it will help you but I don't think it'll truly help you find what you're made of. With someone who can work side by side with you and identify you specific strengths and weaknesses and customize a plan just for you, you'll do more than a one-size-fits-all plan could ever give you. And I'm excited to see the results you can get!!

Thanks, MJ!  That means a lot coming from you, especially!  You know how much I respect you as a person and your talent as a runner!

rm23bz: what's the length of your current running streak? I see you've run every day for the past 30 days but the streak is probably longer than that, right?

I have no idea!  I don't streak intentionally.  The Pfitz plan just has me running 7 days a week.  It can't be that much longer than a month.  I took a lot of days off in December.
