Privacy Warning:  Please realize that these forums are open to all, and are fully searchable via Google and other search engines. If you are HIV positive and disclose this in our forums, then it is almost the same thing as telling the whole world (or at least the World Wide Web). If this concerns you, then do not use a username or avatar that are self-identifying in any way. We do not allow the deletion of anything you post in these forums, so think before you post.

  • All members of these forums are, by default, not considered to be licensed medical providers. If otherwise, users must clearly define themselves as such.

  • Forums members must behave at all times with respect and honesty. Posting guidelines, including time-out and banning policies, have been established by the moderators of these forums.

  • We ask all forums members to provide references for health/medical/scientific information they provide, when it is not a personal experience being discussed. Please provide hyperlinks with full URLs or full citations of published works not available via the Internet. Additionally, all forums members must post information which are true and correct to their knowledge.

My First 10K
« on: March 28, 2009, 05:26:09 pm »
Almost 20 years + and today I ran in my first 10K event ever.  It feels really, really good to kick HIV in the crotch every now and then.

:P

Best,

Rich

Just weanted to add. Ed and I did our ten mile ride from Clearwater to Tarpon Springs today. ( 20 mile round trip.) Probably should have done it another day. There was a strong 30 mile an hour wind on our backs getting there. Coming back was a struggle. We're both sore !!!
