a year in photos

I believe that I stole this idea from Liz two years ago, and I enjoyed the recap last year as well.  Here you have it, friends and snarkers, 2012 in photos.

January
February
I tear my calf by being stupid in beautiful new shoes.

March
To add to the confusion, I run a half marathon at MAF.

April
I visit (and fall in love with) Colorado and then get laid off.

May
I curse my way through my last IM training block.

June

July
Graham comes home and I return to my usual schtick of complaining about running.

August
I start a new job and struggle with returning to training.

September
I cross the finish line with my puppies, all of us happy and healthy.

October
I quit my job, celebrate a lot of birthdays, and we decide to move to Colorado.

November
I spend three days in a car with three of the greatest friends I will ever have.

December
I fly home, pack everything, and we drive back out. And last night we landed in our new home.

I like the practice of wrapping up a year in photos instead of words.  My year has already been laid out in words, archived on the internet forever, and I don't feel the need to repeat myself.  But I always enjoy putting this post together, because it's a time where I can sit and reflect on what stands out from the last 12 months.  And all I really have to say, is that it's been one hell of a year.
