Marathon Mum

Marathon Mum. Marathon Man. Get the joke? Both feature obsessiveness, shady characters from Europe, lots of running, and most notably, torture. This online journal began as I trained for the 2005 London Marathon. I successfully finished the race, but MarathonMum lives on. After all, life as a mother isn't a sprint, it's a marathon.

Daffodils: A Retrospective

Every year since 2003, we walk over to the Queen's House to take a picture in front of the sea of daffodils they plant there. The pictures from 2003-2005 are somewhere safe* (*so safe I can't find them easily), but here are the pictures from 2006-2008, digitized on my computer. Enjoy!

About Me

M.A. Stapleton
London, United Kingdom
Life as a mother is a marathon. You need to have patience, endurance, tenacity and a sense of humor. When you decide to run a marathon as a mother, particularly when your 1-year-old son is along for the ride, you need all of the above in spades. This blog began as a way to update my family on the progress of my marathon training, but now the blog has evolved to talk about a million other things, too. I am now working on my first novel, so if you are an agent looking for new clients, be sure to get in touch.
