NYC Marathon
Romance was in the air. But, would it stay?10 total reviews
Comment from LisaMay
So you were in the marathon anyway, dashing like a madman down Madison Ave chasing after your blind date. It must happen quite often that the clock change catches people out - you've used the situation to create an entertaining story with some humour. It sounds like the date turned out a success, so the happy ending is appreciated.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
this is a very good story. Wow! How many times have we gone somewhere, and we have been late? Good thing you looked at the clock. The one hour sure made a difference.

Comment from Chris Davies
That was lots of fun! Good story and well-written. It was an unexpected ending for an expected date. Wish you good luck with the contest, you should do well.

Thank you for the "Excellent" review and encouragement.
Comment from SimianSavant
This a simpler but also much more believable and refreshing story of meeting than the others. This gets my vote for the contest. Nicely done.

Comment from Paul McFarland
This is a great story. Being a has been runner, I was looking forward to the romantic encounter between two of the marathoners. Surprise, surprise, but it was a good surprise.

Thank you for the "Excellent" review and encouragement. One of my sons ran in and completed the Marathon this year and going to NYC
to cheer him on was part of the inspiration for this story.
Comment from Ellie Jonas
What a cute lighthearted story! I do not know much about New York, is the marathon a symbol of the time change or such? I enjoyed it but did not understand the significance of the marathon in the story. I also really enjoyed the repetition of the first and last line of the story.

Thank you for your review. The time change and the marathon fell on the same day in 2021. Pure coincidence.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Charming story! So clever--it brings to mind numerous amusing SNAFUs that ensue from time change. Where I went to college, hundreds of clocks had been set the wrong way. Wonderful tale--this may be a winner.

Comment from Malerie
What a fun story. I enjoyed reading your story, it is well written and the story is very vivid. I can image Bill forgetting to set the clock back, I think a lot of us can relate. The ending was fun and added some amusement. Thanks for sharing
