2013 Favorite Things Giveaway

This year, more than ever, I am thankful for my blog. This blog has brought new friends into my life in both Geneva and London, which has helped tremendously with the adjustment. In addition, you all have helped me train for one marathon, two half marathon, a 10k race, and a 5k race three of which were personal records. Your emails, comments and interactions on social media have helped me discover new cities, countries, workouts, recipes, and inspire me on a daily basis. Therefore, similar to last year, I want to thank you all through a Favorite Things Giveaway.

    Your blog is amazing so I don’t really think you need to change anything, but my favorite blog posts have been the ones about marathon training and travel.

  10. Bonnie B. December 16, 2013 / 9:54 am

    More workouts please! I’ve loved reading about your training journies to your races. Based on what you’ve shared, I run a similar pace as you so I feel your training is very much relatable!

  11. Carol December 16, 2013 / 9:54 am

  12. Cailin December 16, 2013 / 10:03 am

I love reading about the different lifestyles in Europe as compared to America (eating, working etc)!

  17. Hana December 16, 2013 / 10:33 am

    Hi Ashley, since I am Prague-based resident, I am not really eligible to take part in your contest, but decided to reply anyway. I have been reading your blog for a few months only, but thoroughly enjoy it. Since I am European about to relocate to North America in early 2014, it’s always interesting to read your thoughts/comments about what surprises you about life in Europe. Do not forget to include Prague amongst your European travels – truly a beautiful city …. though I personally would probably wait till spring:-) And as for your posts – I like to read about juggling work/life/fitness balance! Merry Christmas and look forward to your 2014 blog posts! Hana

    Ashley, I really enjoy reading your blog and I think you have a nice balance of content in terms of recipes, lifestyle posts, and workouts. My favorite posts are your workouts (like your recent 20 minute holiday workout). Maybe you could add a weekly 30 to 40 minute workout like this that incorporates some type of cardio and strength? Thanks so much for your great posts all year long.

  335. Sarah December 18, 2013 / 3:58 pm
