Looking Back: 2019 in Numbers

Looking Back: 2019 in Numbers

Posted January 13, 2020 by Wendy in Personal, recap / 1 Comment

I’ve always known that I’m a Ravenclaw (except for when I was 11, I mean, everyone wanted to be Gryffindor when you first read them, right). But this is definitely clear because I was very excited to look back on my 2019 reading stats spreadsheet and peruse ALL THE DATA. It’s just so interesting to see what my reading trends are, what genres I read the most of, which format, etc. Do you also nerd out about your reading stats […]

Some people do new years resolutions, some don’t like them. I think they’re a great way to set new goals for yourself! (It is, after all, how I got into running.) Are you a resolution type person? Do you have any resolutions for 2020 or goals, bookish or otherwise? I don’t […]

Behind the Blogger: My Marathon Journey

Posted September 14, 2018 by Wendy in Personal / 5 Comments

So this is something a bit different on the blog! I wanted to talk a bit more about what my marathon training journey has been like this year.
