Earlier this month, after Eliud Kipchoge defended his Olympic title, it felt like we’d finally run out of superlatives for the most accomplished marathoner in history. Even before his victory in Sapporo, the 36-year-old Kenyan had a marathon resume that defied comprehension: 12 victories in 14 starts. An absurd new world record—2:01:39—set in 2018 in Berlin. A sub two-hour marathon one year later that wasn’t a race so much as a display of Platonic perfection. By the time he trounced his competition at this summer’s Games, Kipchoge’s GOAT status was already long affirmed, prompting LetsRun to keep things economical with their headline: “The Greatest Ever x2.” When it comes to burnishing the Kipchoge legend, is there anything left to say?...

And while being concise is good, there's very little opportunity to convey your uniqueness, or for your personality to shine through at all for that matter. While a resume is a sole, largely unchanging document, a personal website can be customized and updated according to what you're working on, or what you want to emphasize. It's both fluid and current. Did you know 80% of businesses say a personal website is important when...
Thank you to Random House for Young Readers for a copy of this book! All thoughts and opinions are my own! My sister and I love to read. I have no idea how this was instilled in it (note- ask Mom next time I talk to her), but I have memories of us reading EVERYWHERE. We always had a book in our hands- at the Saturday Night Race Track, at the beach, visiting family, even tagging along when our father had his lawn service business. Through-out elementary school, we both competed in the school's reading Book-It Program (that motivation was definitely the pizza). Whatever the inspiration was, we both still love to read!
