Pippa Middleton hits the slopes in Sweden

She's been off the radar for a little while, and now we know why!

While we were napping on the sofa yesterday, Pippa Middleton was taking part in a grueling 56-mile charity ski marathon in Sweden. And although her sister, the Duchess of Cambridge was nowhere to be seen, Pippa's brother, James Middleton was by her side at the starting line.

Pippa and James have been training for the Vasaloppet race for the past few months.

Alongside her usual fitness regime of yoga and running, sporty Pippa has been doing lots of "fitness training" in the UK and has jetted to Sweden several times for test runs.

Finishing the demanding course in an impressive seven hours, 13 minutes and 36 seconds, Pippa admitted that she'd never skied cross-country before and was pleased with finishing just 26 minutes behind her brother.

The pair have so far raised £7,500 for the Magic Breakfast Charity which provides a pre-school meal to inner city school children.

Good work guys!
