Hello 2013!

A very happy and very belated new year to you all!!!

My recent lack of silence was completely unplanned, having gone to France with the best of blogging intentions. But sometimes the universe (and the chalet's router box) has other plans for you and so I stayed away from my computer for the entire eight days, a nice change I must say.

So I owe you quite a few updates. I really wanted to tell you about my last, wind-swept run of 2012, all my good running intentions for 2013, do a re-cap of my 2012 running year and then, of course, about all the fun I had frolicking cross-training in the snow last week. 

But instead of doing lots of writing, I think this week has other things in store for me. Remember that big move down south? Well, it's happening right now. Instead of enveloping my adventures in pretty prose, I'll be packing up and schlepping around boxes of stuff. So I'm afraid this might become yet another quiet week on the Two Itchy Feet front. Mea culpa.

To remedy the situation slightly, here's a mini-photographic journey of some of my fave bits of the last two weeks...

Finishing 2012 off in style at this gorgeous bride's big day!

...and ending the year with a rather stormy 3-miler

Will have to get used to the rather tempestuous coastal weather, methinks

And then this: absolute paradise

THE funniest boarding socks EVER. Seriously, had me in stitches for ages

A quick trip over the mountain border to Bella Italia

Pow, pow, pow with G. No one I trust more to get me down an off-piste mountain more safely than this dude!

And yes, you've seen correctly. Yours truly back on skis for the first time in 18 years (and yes, I'm that old!). And you know what? I friggin' loved it.

How did you spend the last two weeks? Catch me up on your news.

What's new for 2013???
