This quote seems to perfectly sum up 2009 for me. Wonder if there will be a single quote at the end of 2010!?

Happy New Year everyone!
- Christmas came twice for me this year! Yesterday, I received my gift from CAUTION: Redhead Running for the blogger gift/card exchange that Morning Runner/Tall Mom hosted. I was happy to be matched up with Morgan because it led me to a brand new awesome blogger! Funny that we thought so much alike for the gift exchange, since I also ordered a necklace for her which reminded me of her blog!! :D Injuries in 2009 led me to triathlon... so this awesome heart iTri locket necklace couldn't be a more perfect gift to remind me of the year that started this journey!! Thanks again Morgan, I absolutely love it!!
- Started off 2010 off on such a high note! A light snowfall started last night, enough to cover the ground. With the gym closed today, I had no choice but to do my run outdoors, so thankfully it was quite mild when I was ready to get my first run of the year done! Anyone else hate seeing zeros for year to date mileage? Despite the sidewalks still being slightly snow covered, with puddles of slush and water, this ended up being my fastest and most enjoyable run since my injuries! No better feeling than to start off the year like this! Here's to hoping that we can all continue doing what we love this year, and remain uninjured in the process!

Happy New Year, Mel. The iTri heart is so you, indeed! :-)
Happy new year to you!
Yes, I definitely hate seeing 0's next to mileage hehe.
Here's to staying injury-free in 2010!!!
I loved the blogger xmas exchange too. It was great to get a little something and even better to get a new blog to read.
Cute picture! Happy 2010. Hope it's a great one for you!
Funny, injury led me to a triathlon in 2009. I know I've read that a ton of times on your blog but all of the sudden it sunk in that I did the same thing.
Happy New Year Mel!
This is the year! Got to it!
Sure seems that we all are a little relieved that it is now 2010....I hope for all of us to continue down our roads of health and happiness!
Run on!
Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year.

Good luck in 2001
I love that quote at the beginning of your post! Glad I found you, it looks like we follow some of the same running blogs (I love Morgan's blog!).
Happy New Year to you and good luck with your 2010 goals! One of my goals this year is to also complete a tri, so I can't wait to follow you through your journey.
the necklace looks even cooler than how she explained it :) i love that it's a locket! very cute. i'm glad you like :)
i was thinking of you today. it is in the teens here and i think i'm going to die. i don't know how you deal with this! i can't make myself get out of bed in this weather. too cold. how do you manage to still be productive? apparently i just need to hibernate. it was 19*F today and i went to the food store in running tights, jeans, and three layers on top. i mean. how do people dress all cute in the winter? too cold!
ok, enough rant about the weather :) but seriously, don't know how you canadians handle it. kudos!
YAY!!!!!!!! I'm so glad you FINALLY received it! I was getting so nervous!!! D@mn customs! :)
Sounds like a great first run! Loving the cute running outfit!
Definitely a great way to start the year! Yay! Happy 2010!
Happy New Years!!!!!
Cute necklace! Looks like you're off to a great start for 2010.
I agree...no mileage so far :( but I do love the necklace! Next year I'm going to have to get on this gift exchange!
LOVE the necklace!! happy 2010!!
Happy new year and great job on getting a good start to the year.
Love the necklace!
Hooray outside runs!!
I think I need some sunglasses that won't get caught up in my bike helmet. Any suggestions?
Great way to start the New Year! You Canadians really know how to put wimpy FL to shame in cold weather :-)
