  24. Megan December 21, 2012 / 8:05 pm

    I started to work on myself instead of caring what others thought about me – a huge accomplishment for me!

  25. Laura December 21, 2012 / 8:05 pm

    Moved to a new city and started a new job!

  26. Lauren @ Sassy Molassy December 21, 2012 / 8:06 pm

    I have two biggest accomplishments for the year: 1) this fall term I started going back to school and managed to take a chemistry and biology class (and get A’s!) while working 32 hours/wk. It was stressful, but gave me a lot of confidence to know that I could juggle it all. and 2) PRing in the marathon by 9 minutes and ALMOST getting my Boston Qualifier. Missed it by 35 seconds, but it was all okay because the manfriend proposed at the finish line!

  27. Kelly Anne December 21, 2012 / 8:07 pm

    If I had to pick an accomplishment, it would either be surviving this past week (personally and professionally it was super, incredibly stressful) now on to NEXT week…
    Or else, biting the fear bullet and starting going to CrossFit, which I KNEW would be right up my alley and I LOVE IT!!!

    I never win anything, so I’m really hopeful I’m lucky this time! πŸ™‚

  28. Kate December 21, 2012 / 8:07 pm

    I tweeted! Happy Holidays to you πŸ™‚

  39. sarah December 21, 2012 / 8:14 pm

  42. Kathryn December 21, 2012 / 8:16 pm

    My biggest running accomplishment was running my first half marathon in under 2 hours. My biggest life accomplishment was finally getting my husband to agree to book a long-talked about trip to Italy. The man is stubborn as all get out, so I consider this a big deal.

    I ran my very first Half Marathon this year in May and completed my 2nd in Philadelphia beating my time by over 9 minutes! (I ran by you on the course in Philly and said hi). When I started training for the May race, I could only run 3 miles. Now, I’ve got the Half Marathon bug – I just can’t decide which ones in 2013 to sign up for yet.

    Thanks for offering such a generous giveaway– I’m excited about each of the products! Something I’m proud of is starting to enjoy exercise and healthy eating because of the way they make me feel– not how they make me look.

  52. Katie @ KatieEnPursuit December 21, 2012 / 8:24 pm

  57. Amanda N December 21, 2012 / 8:30 pm

    My biggest accomplishment this year has to be actually becoming a “runner” and knocking 5 minutes off of my 5K PR time in 7 months. I’m pretty proud that I went from a non runner who couldn’t even run for 5 minutes in April, to running up to 8 miles and averaging 8 min/mile for race pace. I can’t wait to see what 2013 brings in my running πŸ™‚

  58. Carol December 21, 2012 / 8:33 pm

  61. lisa fine December 21, 2012 / 8:36 pm

  62. Traci December 21, 2012 / 8:36 pm

    My biggest accomplishment would be marrying my Husband and purchasing our first home! One of the reasons we picked our home is there is a park and running/walking trails!

  63. StanfordSteph December 21, 2012 / 8:37 pm

    Completing two half marathons on back to back days!

  64. Kadye December 21, 2012 / 8:38 pm

    I conquered my fears and went away for 4 months to another state for an internship! It was nerve-racking, scary, and absolutely amazing. Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump right in.

  65. Christine December 21, 2012 / 8:39 pm

    I’m absolutely most proud of my beatiful baby girl, but also for staying healthy, fit and ACTIVE while pregnant and afterwards!!

  68. Wendy December 21, 2012 / 8:41 pm

    This year I finished a few years of adult orthodontia! I’m proud of this accomplishment because I have had a lifelong fear of dental work (which is why I ended up with braces as an adult) and so this was a huge deal for me.

  69. Emily December 21, 2012 / 8:44 pm

    I would die for a scuba hoodie!! This year I finished my first marathon and met my goal of running under 4 hours! Super proud of that accomplishment πŸ™‚

    This year was a “life-changer” for me. I started the year working at a job I hated in Miami, where I little to no social life and was largely unhappy. I decided to make a change, moved back home, got an amazing new job, and have found the best group a friends a girl could ask for. I’m proud for having the courage to get out of my rut!

  79. Erin December 21, 2012 / 9:01 pm

    Best accomplishment this year: getting back into fitness and working out 6 days a week!

    i feel like i should say im most proud of my berlin marathon pr [cause i busted my ass over the summer for it], but i think i’m most proud of the fact that i ended a long-term relationship that i knew wasn’t going any further than where it currently stood, and doing what i needed to do to make myself happy.

  88. Maggie December 21, 2012 / 9:22 pm

    I am most proud of stepping out of my comfort zone with so many things. I can’t even believe all the things I’ve done this year that would have terrified me even just a year ago.

    Merry Christmas!

  89. Allie December 21, 2012 / 9:24 pm

  94. Robin December 21, 2012 / 9:33 pm

    What a great giveaway. I am most proud of my daughter learning to eat. She was born very prematurely and a lasting issue is her struggle with eating. We still have a long way to go but she has come so far this year. We have both worked incredibly hard for this to happen and to see her actually WANT to eat makes me so happy.

  95. Jana December 21, 2012 / 9:38 pm

  100. Tammy December 21, 2012 / 9:50 pm

    I think the accomplishment I’m most proud of this year is a toss up between completing my first half marathon (and then a second one) and living my life completely outside my comfort zone!

  116. Ashley Running Bun December 21, 2012 / 10:43 pm

    Oh I love my Pro Compression socks. And that shirt? I need that in my life. Looks so comfy. It’s hard to pinpoint just one thing – but I think getting a PR at my last half was a big accomplishment. I worked my booty off for it.

  216. Camara December 22, 2012 / 3:43 pm

    I’m 2 years post-grad and have had a “real” job at a theater. I love where I work, but I made the decision this year that I’m going to pursue my real dreams. I want to act, and so in the spring my boyfriend and I are moving from CT to NYC. It took a lot of deliberation, but I know I won’t be happy if I never try.

  230. Nicole December 22, 2012 / 6:03 pm

    I’m most proud that I took my running to the next level by deciding to train for a marathon. I was committed and consistent in my training for 12 weeks and saw great improvements in my speed and endurance. However, a disc injury sidelined me partway through my program. After my first exhilarating 15 mile run I had to stop completely for several months. I am finally easing back into running and have my eye on a marathon in 2013.

  242. Tara December 22, 2012 / 10:28 pm

  257. Lizz December 23, 2012 / 4:37 am

    I ran my first marathon, I never thought I would EVER run a marathon. Training was more difficult than I imagined, especially after my dad died, but the sense of accomplishment crossing the finish line made all the miles and blood and tears worth it.

  258. tara December 23, 2012 / 4:52 am

    I made it through my first year of residency!!

  263. Kristen December 23, 2012 / 11:36 am

    I think my biggest accomplishment this year is learning to love myself more and work through all my self doubts (and working through emotional eating). I learned I am strong and I will achieve all my health goals (and will make it through my first full marathon in a few weeks).

  264. Susan December 23, 2012 / 12:27 pm

Your blog has inspired me to use running as a stress releaser and since becoming a reader I have completed 3 marathons! Thanks for everything you do with this website Ashley, it encourages me to maintain a positive outlook every day.

    I’ve learned to balance my life. Not focus on eating too much, not stressing over gaining a few pounds, enjoying my time with friends and family, and most importantly learning to be happy with myself.
