Melanie Short has big plans. And she’s in with a sporting chance...
With her job, her apartment and a shot at celebrity on the line, poster girl Mel has landed a spot on the reality series Running Feat. Can Mel run herself onto the cover of Belle? Maybe then her dad will notice her, and it’ll show her spoiled step-sister a thing or two as well. So armed with Personal-Trainer-to-the-Stars, Olaf Raaken, a bevy of running buddies, and a muffin-free diet, Mel takes on the marathon.
But craving publicity, the series sponsor, Sportzgirl, pressures Mel into a steamy affair with co-competitor Rico Black, which would be fine were it not for Mel’s lovely boyfriend, Jack, her best friend, Janeen, and the viewing public…
“A light-hearted, motivational and hilarious look at marathon training.” Lisa Tamati, Ultra runner and author of Running Hot and Running to Extremes.
