Brutally dumped by her girlfriend Ally is homeless friendless and jobless... but at least she
has Malcolm. Wounded and betrayed Ally has made off with the one thing she thinks might soothe
the pain: Emily's cat. After a long train journey she arrives home to her Dad in Sheffield
ready to fold herself up in her duvet and remain on the sofa for the foreseeable. Her dad has
other ideas. A phone call later Ally is on a 'date' with her first ever beard and friend of
old Jeremy. He too is broken-hearted and living at home again. In an inspired effort to hold
each other up the pair decide to revenge-run a half marathon in a bid to impress their exes
with their commitment and athleticism. Given neither of them can run they enlist the support
of athletic not to mention beautiful Jo. But will she have them running for the hills... or
will their ridiculous plan pay off...?--Publisher.
