Girl on the Run by Jane Costello

*****5 stars
I had this on my pre-order list for my kindle and was so excited for it to come. I love Costello's characters. They're all so real, almost like a dear friend or someone you'd like to meet. I truly loved the plot in this book, as I feel we do get swamped down in our day to day and take for granted all the wonderful gifts we have that make us more fortunate. I have been trying to shed a few pounds myself, although not through running ;), but found myself easily able to identify and a bit inspired to do a little of my reading on my stationary bike. This will go in with my other Costello books, to my for keeps library, so I can reread sometime :)

Book Jacket Summary:
He's a real catch ...if only she could catch him up Abby Rogers has been on health kicks before - they involve eating one blueberry muffin for breakfast instead of two. But since starting her own business, after watching one too many episodes of The Apprentice, the 28-year-old's waistline has taken even more of a back seat than her long-neglected love life. When Abby is encouraged to join her sporty best friend's running club - by none other than its gorgeous new captain - she finds a mysterious compulsion to exercise. Sadly, her first session doesn't go to plan. Between the obscenely unflattering pink leggings, and the fact that her lungs feel as though they've been set on fire, she vows never to return. Then her colleague Heidi turns up at work and makes a devastating announcement, one that will change her life - and Abby's - forever.
