"It's romance on the literal run. Loved it!"--OnlyAtoms Running
Farrah Foley runs the way she runs her love life -- too cautiously. She slows down just when it's time to fly. Getting dumped with no explanation by the love of her life, she's determined never to find herself in that position again.
When Jude Farnesworth comes along, Farrah is intrigued but fears she can't compete with the kind of high society women he meets in his town of Greenwich, Connecticut. Raised in Queens, she lives in the Bronx, where she runs with the Van Cortlandt Track Club. Down-to-earth yet vulnerable, she has no idea that Jude is attracted to the qualities in her she's trying hardest to hide.
Jude knows about being between two groups, belonging to neither, having grown up at the fringes of affluence. He wants to write about the experience as soon as he finishes ghostwriting TV financial expert Dan Perlstein's latest book How to Marry Money. Increasingly uneasy as he researches his current project, Jude begins to realize the life he wants for himself is entirely unlike the lives of the people with whom he has surrounded himself.
When Jude meets Farrah, for the first time he can see himself as an insider, the only other member of Farrah's club. But when Farrah discovers what Jude is writing about, she leaves him behind in the dust. Will Jude be able to catch her at the finish line?

I love running! So obviously I wanted to read this book. What a disappointment!Farrah is a competitive racer and will do anything to win. She takes it too serious, whereas I just like to run for fun. Track and Field and other races are of no interest to me.
From then on, we get a team of racers that get together and talk about what? That's right. Racing. Calve definition, biceps, triceps, muscle building, running form, diets, etc. Oh, brother. I hope this is not all they talk about throughout the book. But I couldn't stand the insipidness any longer to find out.

Running from Love A Story for Runners and Lovers edition by Rozsa Gaston Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The decisions made, and friendships forged over time helped with being able to make good life choices. Running was the metaphor of life's struggles played out in rel time long with the various class issues and other annoyances that came to light as life and love have a way of doing when you least expect it. The story was well written and became harder to put down with each chapter I read.
A great story that will make you feel at home in Riverdale and Greenwich. It made me miss the easy camaraderie of my running club and had me reminiscing about days of new love. The book takes you on a journey of self-discovery and may inspire you to sign up for a local running race!
Why would anyone LOVE this book? The story is about two runners meeting and falling for each other, sort of. The story line sounded good, the reviews were good, how could I lose?
However, I found I HATED the heroine. She was self-centered, judgmental, and stupid to name a few. She goes with a guy for 3 years, he criticizes, judges her every action, tells her how to talk, does everything but physically slap her. He is the love of her live! R U KIDDING ME? This guy is a total jerk and has no redeeming qualities. He dumps her over the phone no less and in 8 months he is married to the rich socialite. Then after a short time he decides the marriage is not working because he is bored so he shows up back on her doorstep.
She gets ready pissed because she sees the hero with a group of women and assumes the worst. Hangs up on him because he was talking to a woman on the phone, etc. Acts like a crazy woman. BUT SHE IS SEEING HER EX who is still legally married, in some countries, and she seems to be okay with that. REALLY? At least he wasn't DATING any of these women he was just having his picture taken, in public, with them. She is DATING a married man, considering having sex with him again but oh, almost forgot. He was the love of her life. Sterling character that he is.
The hero I liked. Sort of. He has all the makings of a good hero, he came from a poor family and was the son of the custodian of one of the largest estates in his area. So he grew up around rich but he didn't share in it. So far so good. But then, he seems to do everything he can to copy the rich that he professes to dislike. Especially the fake and phony women. Yet every goal seems to get into the country club to be around them. And he pretends to be one of them to achieve it. Didn't make sense.
Now here is where he lost me. He falls for the runner girl, an average hard working girl paying her own way and not a lot left over after paying. She treats him like crap. He keeps chasing her. WHY? She had no sweet, loving traits. Just snarky hateful actions. AND to top it all off. When the ex shows up she spends way too much time considering taking him back.
NOW< just ONE reason why she should take him back. He dumps her without a second thought to her feelings, etc. He treated her like crap the whole time he was dating her, she was never good enough. OH BUT I almost forgot. He was the LOVE of her life! Really, that is LOVE? So he drops back in and wants to take up right where they left off. And she is undecided? I got so annoyed with this girl and so disgusted that he would become such a doormat for her that I quit reading right around Thanksgiving. I went back to the reviews and one after another was loved the book, great book, etc. I just do not see it. Plus, I will admit the hero had a lot of thoughts that just were not hero like to me. Plus, he seemed to be broke, in debt, and instead of doing something about it, he would just charge something else. Not a trait that I would think high on the pro list. Maybe these people were more real than most of the characters I like to read about. If so, I would rather get away from real and get back into fiction. I didn't care for it and really did not like the characters, especially the heroine and her ex, they really deserved each other. Of course, I did learn one thing. I now know why the divorce rate is so high if morons like this marry how could it possibly last? He did it to her once and she was setting herself up for him to do it again.
All thru the book she gets good advice in remembering thoughts her parents shared with her. Too bad she didn't listen to more of them.
Despite the fact that I've run a bit in my time, I didn't love all the running facts in this book. The romance wasn't bad and I think the author did a credible story of building the romance slowly. There were times that I wanted to slap the h for being so stubborn and there were occasions that the H was just plain stupid. A little communication would've made this story less excruciating. I think the author overdid the misunderstandings which took away from the romance.
It was a freebie and it was entertaining but just not memorable.
Story is enjoyable and easy. Not overloaded with running jargon and techniques (in case you are worried about that). It's really just fun with an interesting viewpoint on finding your place within your own life.
The only thing wrong with the book is that quotes are frequently missing around spoken words. It's a bit hard to figure out when a speaker is speaking or finishes speaking when the quotes are missing. I had to re-read those parts (and there are a lot of them) for clarity. Fixing the missing quotes issue would greatly improve the reading ease of the story.
alas, it doesn't look like it's to be -- ms. gaston that's a plea to you ] ... A very insightful story from both pov's and that's the best part. why this guy can be so aware of Farrah's internal conflicts but not in the most obvious of situations (i.e. other women) tells the story of men vs women thru history I suppose -- he just seems like such a dope sometimes. Did love the competitiveness that our heroine portrays and her growth within it as well. but .. surely there can be more in this story to tell .. please, please !!!!
Girl meets boy, girl loses boy, girl gets back together with boy ... with lots of running.
Good parts
The running. My favorite is the scene on Wave Hill, but I enjoyed all the running scenes.
The ending scene. It's silly and fun and pairs up the running and romance perfectly.
Bad parts
Too many minor characters are there mostly to advise Farrah or Jude. Many of them have just about no purpose but to offer advice. I actually liked Missy because she had her own life and her own motives.
Not enough comedy during the parts where Farrah and Jude misunderstand each other.
Will is such a cookie-cutter bad guy. He would be more interesting if he had some good traits. Farrah did love him.
I love running! So obviously I wanted to read this book. What a disappointment!
Farrah is a competitive racer and will do anything to win. She takes it too serious, whereas I just like to run for fun. Track and Field and other races are of no interest to me.
