[b]Bills' Scott Chandler injured Week 13[/b]

    [b][url=http://www.urbestjerseys.com/NFL_Jerseys--pc-482-1]Buffalo Bills[/url][/b] TE Scott Chandler was  unable to finish the game Week 13 vs. Tennessee  because of an apparent ankle injury. Chandler  needed X-rays after the game. He then said he believes he has just a sprained  ankle, but his injury will be monitored this week.

  Chandler had three catches for 48  yards, but he lost a fumble on his longest gain of the afternoon -- a 22-yard  catch in the third quarter. It is believed Chandler was injured on that play.

  The  ankle injury suffered Sunday by Chandler is not believed to be serious, but  could keep him out for this week's game in San Diego, "It'd be hard to get  him back this week, but there's an outside chance we get him back," said  coach Chan Gailey.

  Chandler will likely be looking at  some missed practice time this week. There's also a slight concern in that the [b][url=http://www.urbestjerseys.com/Buffalo_Bills_NFL_Jerseys--pc-518-1]Buffalo  Bills[/url][/b] starting throwing the ball in the direction of backup Lee Smith,  even when Chandler  was healthy earlier in the game.

  Buffalo Bills rookie cornerback Aaron Williams also hurt in the  third quarter of a 23-17 loss to [b][url=http://www.urbestjerseys.com/Tennessee_Titans_NFL_Jerseys--pc-515-1]Tennessee  Titans[/url][/b].and not optimistic in he will play at San Diego this weekend.

I'm baaaaaack!

I'm thrilled to be cleared by the sports med doctor to start running again!  I'm up to week 4 day 3 on C25K.  I'm planning to sign up for a 5K race in late January.  I started C25K last January and was doing pretty well for a first time runner, and then I had a stress fracture in May that stopped me from all weight bearing exercise for 6 months.  I just started back and I'm thrilled to be able to get back to running.  I'm planning to take it very slow and stick to 5K's for the first year.  Happy holidays everyone and I'm looking forward to running in 2012!

Hey All! Well, I'm down to 21 days until the Tinkerbell HM (my first). I broke training today as coach did not want us running more than 10 miles but I just had to know that I could complete a half marathon distance so I ran 13.3 miles and finished within my 3 hour goal for a HM (2:59:03). This involved 20-25 mph headwinds for the first 2-3 miles and again for somewhere around miles 6-8. I'm confident now that I can finish so a lot of anxiety has melted away! I'm ready! Going to behave for my taper as today was the last long run of training. Just need to decide tomorrow if I can handle a short 5 miler to keep on schedule.

One benefit for me for Tink is that Anaheim is at an elevation 147' whereas I live/train at 4,300'. Easier breathing will hopefully = faster time!

I hope everyone had a great holiday season! Here's to a wonderful 2012 in running and life! Happy New Year everyone! BTW, I really miss reading the regular postings...I wish Active would get on the ball and fix the email notification feature!

Hello all! Well after my last competition in high school (in 1993), I will be entering my first fun run race in on 2/12/12. A psychologist I work with got me interested in the race and am very excited about it! I have been out of running for almost twenty years due to shin splints and, I have to admit, being discouraged that I was a slow runner! I think it may have been my height (male, 5'2") but who knows. My best times in the mile were around 6:30 but my best ever was 5:57 at my final cross country time trial. I got into running so I could lose weight and it has helped me lose almost 20 lbs. I am glad I am back and proud to be called a PENGUIN RUNNER!!!! Good night!

Well! Is it just me or is everyone starting to get email notifications of posts again? Well, I've really only just gotten one and that was today. So who knows? Anyway, I'm now 12 days out from my first half marathon and although my goal is to finish in 3 hours or less I want to push for 2:30-2:45. Of course, that's not factoring in if I want to stop and get pictures taken with characters...after all, it is Disneyland. I guess I'm feeling a bit cocky what with the elevation change and such! lol! I think I'm ready...stocked up on Gu when I went to Santa Fe on Saturday and it's time to get started packing. I'll post a report when I finish the race.

Oh and the other big news is that I was finally discharged from physical therapy last Friday after just over 2 months of treatment! Whooohoooo! Funny thing is that now the left hip/pelvis (rotational misalignment issue/ITBS of the hip) is nearly 100% better the right side is acting up. Go figure! At least I've got the knowledge to keep training that area and get that stronger as well.

Kevorkaziko, playpusrun & lindakay228 - Welcome to the fold! It's been kinda slow since Active did upgrades, but hopefully the email notification are working again.

lindakay228 - Yeah, I'm over on the eastside in Clovis. I have to travel to get to any race! We were going to do Bataan this year but I've had to cut down my races/travel from 13 down to 5 (maybe 6). The next one I'll probably do after Tinkerbell is either the Shamrock Shuffle 10 Miler in ABQ in March or the ABQ Half in April. I will be going down your way for the Las Cruces Half in December.

Well, run happy, run smart, run safe! Have a great week all!

Just thought I'd add this (crappy) pic for giggles! I dyed my normally black/brown hair purple in honor of my first half marathon (ever) which I am running for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training and also in honor of cancer patients everywhere!! I'm just hoping it doesn't bleed too much when I sweat!

I am just now getting the emails again too.

I am training for my first 1/2 marathon on 2/5/12, the Kaiser 1/2 in San Francisco.  I've never run long distances before this and it's making me like running in a way I never did before.  I'm shooting for around 2 hours, 45 minutes but will be super happy with anything under 3 hours.  And, of course, I will super happy to just finish so time really isn't that important at the end of the day...or at the end of 13.1 miles as in this case. 

Good luck on your first 1/2 MouseRN!! 

And good job Wayna on getting back to it!!

Hi, folks!  This is my first post to this community, so let me supply a bit of background:

I'm 58, retired a bit more than a year ago from Ford Motor here in Michigan and was inspired to start running after attending marathons this last Fall in Washington DC and Savannah in support of my daughter and son-in-law.  I signed up for this Spring's Flying Pig marathon (the 1/2) and started running without a proper training plan.  I quickly "ran" into knee problems (I'm definitely very overweight but making progress) and am just getting into it again after weeks of limping.  I've been increasing my walking (about 24 miles last week) and plan for Saturdays to gradually ramp up to an occasional 13.1 miles (LOL).....I'll finish the Pig even if I have to walk!  Right now, I'm slowly working in short jogs into my week-day 4-5 mile walks.  So far, no problems with the knees.

I can see that I'm way behind all you guys, who are far more experienced penguins....but we all start somewhere.    ....and at least I've started!  (Yea!)
