Life Is a Marathon (Electronic book text)

Life is a marathon, a long drawn out battle with many ups and downs. Life can become a marathon for those individuals, and anyone connected with them, who enter the London Marathon every year. "Life is a Marathon" is a humorous fictional story of seven wildly different yet somehow connected individuals from the same small town who take the plunge and enter the London Marathon for the first time. You will find someone you can relate to amongst an obsessive runner, an overweight jilted wife, an overworked young mum, a powerful middle-aged business man, a gym junkie, a fun loving party queen and a football mad jack the lad. Laugh as you learn about their life stories and discover how they, however tenuous, are all connected. Be inspired as you find out what it is like to run in the greatest mass participation race on earth. You may even be motivated by their reasons for running, which range from selflessly raising money for charity to selfishly trying to get on National television, to start running and enter the London Marathon yourself.
