I great read of anyone new to running. I found the information great for women in general-not just moms and highly recommend it to anyone looking to start running, or looking to go from novice to a more experienced runner.

This is a good book to get me back into running. It has a nice training plan for different levels as well as a strength training plan to do concurrent with running.
