Discovered in a Marathon - Story Rec: "Time and Motion" by Jane

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to write a story of my own - but I did want to "run"! So here is a story I found all about Doyle training, running, competing, the lads "first time" and an undercover for Bodie that goes wrong and it takes the run of Ray's life to save him.



There is probably more information on training and diet and racing than most people want to know but it is a nice long read for a rainy Saturday afternoon. I hope you will enjoy it!

The story is on the Prolib site here:

And there must be pictures!

Running all the way, sir!

Thank you! I'd forgotten all about this one, but I remember enjoying it hugely. I'll have to go back and read it tomorrow - which is as close as I'll get to running in the London marathon *g*

I've read this! And although for me there's a bit of suspension of belief with the training part, I really like this story.

A *very* cool one to rec. :-)

What a great idea! And thanks for the rec.

Oh good thinking! I haven't read this one either, so thank you for the link.

Nice eye candy to go with it! :D

I know you've started a running program. Maybe next year for the marathon? *g*

Glad you liked the story. And yeah - a bit too much detail and maybe a stretch on the training bits. My husband was a distance runner in high school and college (many days and pounds ago!) I don't think his coach would've agreed with Ray's training regimen!

You are welcome. I hope you enjoy the story!

Glad you enjoyed the eye candy - the rec was my excuse for posting pictures! *g*
I hope you like the story.

It's been a long time since I read that story - but ha!, I remember the information-about-diet-and-running that Jane threw in! *g*

You've got me thinking too - that's two running-related fics recced for the challenge, I wonder if there are enough other ones to make a story list..? *g*
