YA
Mourning her boyfriend, eighteen-year-old Annie signs up for the marathon he was training for before he died. Over seven months of training, she builds strength, overcomes illness and injury--and, despite her best intentions, falls for her coach's brother. The romance is clumsily rendered and much less compelling than Annie's efforts to overcome her grief and achieve a seemingly insurmountable goal.
