    This comes from DeLynn Colvert's book, "Play Winning Cribbage":
    "The run in pegging is three (or more) cards that form a numerical run.
    They need not be played in order, but must form a sequence uninterrupted by any 'foreign' card. Your opponent's card, combined with your cards, form runs. In the case of a 'go', you may play out your remaining cards to form
    a run, and your opponent may do likewise. A run cannot be continued after thirty-one has been reached. One point is scored for each card in the run.
    A three-card run is three points, a four-card run is four points, and so
    on. The longest run possible in pegging is a seven-point run
    (A-2-3-4-5-6-7). This peg count is 28, making the eight-card run
    impossible. Another ace could be played last to form another run of seven, however (A-2-3-4-5-6-7-A). The key question when a run's legitimacy is in doubt is, 'do the cards form a sequence, no matter what order played?'".
    So, Dave Jarvis was exactly right in his 11/29 post.
    Hope this helps,
