Synopsis:
Debbie's gotta run. So does Meryl. And Judy. And Bernice. In fact, everybody's running somewhere, though nobody's quite sure exactly where the finish line is located, or if it even exists at all. What will it take to gain the lead -- stamina, strength, and courage? Or simply a better pair of running shoes?
