Excerpt

If the day is particularly bright and my spirits unusually high, like a flash the rare and irresistible urge to go jogging comes over me. I am energized by the race of my pulse and the thought of fresh, clean air filling my lungs. I long to be outside working towards good health and a twenty-four inch waistline. I conjure up a mental image of a tall, slim blonde in a fashionable jogging suit followed by a hundred admiring eyes. But nowhere in my mental imagery do I picture the intense physical abuse I am about to encounter.
