My record readathon time is just over 5 hours, how the heck was I functional for 8 and a half?? I had such an enjoyable time reading, too, I mentioned at 2.5 hours that it felt like nothing and I was almost definitely going to beat my 5 hour record. But by that much…!

I think starting easy was a good confidence booster – as opposed to my previous tactic of starting difficult “while I had energy” – and I got lucky that the unknown (to me) volume I chose first ended up being extremely interesting. I had such a fun time reading through everything that followed, and was even able to push myself pretty easily to finish the one I didn’t like. Sleep definitely killed my flow, though :sweat_smile: Once morning came around and I still had 8 or so hours on the clock, I was too tired to push myself as much as I had the previous night. Though an extra kick or two forced me to read right up until the finish line :see_no_evil_monkey:

In all, I had a great time and smashed my expectations. I really enjoy reading everyone’s updates and, whether you beat your goals or not, I love seeing how much you accomplish and how some of you already began formulating plans for next time haha :star_struck: I’m always so grateful for everyone who joins these, it’s a true honor being able to read alongside you all!! :face_holding_back_tears: :growing_heart:

I’ll keep the Results post open for another day or so while final participants finish… we’re so close to beating our Winter time goal :eyes: Thank you for your time and pages, wishing you a lovely Spring! :hibiscus::sunny::blossom:
