I pulled the trigger and hired a coach for IMWI.  I'm looking forward to working with him.  We are going to work on speed work this winter and then this spring move into long distance work.  I am taking a 6 week break from any structured training after the Chicago Maraton.  I need it for both a mental and phyiscal recovery standpoing.
