Huh. It's 50% higher in this neck o' the woods. Darned cost of living. Debating strongly, and got a bunch of negative feedback on the expense from friends in my tri club's meeting last night. Still, I'm such a dreadful runner that I wonder if this coaching will help me out in a way that "self taught" won't. But I agree, see if you can pitch it as an early holiday gift.

As for driving to run...I think once I get myself back up to 4+ miles, I will, if only because my neighborhood is so darned hilly. I have a 4 to 4.5 mile MUT run I can do that only rises with the stream bed it follows, so it's essentially a flat run. When I get up to that mileage, I'll "reward" myself with the flat run. For now, my 2-3 milers will have to be up and down the hills of my neighborhood.
