Hi peeps!
This is officially the last post of the year on Running in a Skirt! In honor of the occasion, I decided to continue to take a look back at some of the most popular posts from the past year. Yesterday I went through the top 10 recipes and today I'm sharing all the other fun stuff.... including healthy living & travel! Travel is a great joy of mine and it makes me so happy that you guys like to read about my adventures. I was actually surprised how many travel posts made it into the top 10 this year.
2017 has been one wild ride in so many ways. Running in a Skirt has grown so much and it feels amazing to see something you pour your heart and soul into grow. I mentioned it yesterday, but I could not run this site without you. You coming by and reading my posts makes it possible for me to do this. I count you among my blessings daily. Thank you!
If you are newer to my blog, I hope you will enjoy catching up. If you've been around all year, enjoy the trip down memory lane.

I need to check out that treadmill post. It snowed here last night so it forced me to hit the mill today. I have been doing that a lot lately since it has been so cold out. I need some variety with it.
JulieWunder says
I totally agree! HOpe you like it. Happy belated New Year!
Farrah says
I think I'm going to be going to NYC today, so food-tasting is definitely at the top of our list! 😛 I'm going to need to check out those treadmill workouts too--it snowed today and I really don't want to be outside, hahaha.
I loved your travel posts this year (+ the delicious food! *-*)! I've been super-slacking on all the travel posts I've been meaning to write, but hopefully I'll be better about it in 2018!?
JulieWunder says
Don't feel bad about that-- you are so busy!!! Hope your 2018 has been great so far.
Lisa Ballantyne says
All of your Top 10 are awesome, Julie! I live in Haywood County where we don't have access to an ALDI without making the drive to Asheville, but it looks and sounds like an awesome place!
Your travels to Key West and Switzerland sound amazing! I remember when you first posted about both places! Switzerland is somewhere I can only dream of visiting, but Key West is a special place for my husband and me!
I would like to wish you and your husband and the sweet Miss Makena Rose a beautiful and blessed 2018! I'm looking forward to reading more of your amazing blog entries in the New Year!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Lisa! Hopefully one day you'll get an ALDI. Happy belated New Year to you too.
