RUN: A Love/Hate Relationship

I started running three weeks prior to the spreading of Covid-19 in March. I remember getting ready to head to the New York City, for the 2020 Indoor New Balance National Championships. The night before I started noticing the cases where rising, and I really thought about my experiences as resident of New York City, that this virus could spread quickly. Fast forward haven’t had one organize practice of Spring Track, thirty five days later we are all isolated.

Over the last month we have been wondering about when is the next time is competition ? This downtime I have gotten to use wisely I must say. I would like to share, that I am going to bed earlier, I am reading more, eating healthier, meditating, praying more. I believe i have just begun to scratch the surface, but the goal to vibrate at level, that my work impacts, my community. Today the weather was beautiful, I decided to go for a 20 Min run.

I have been living in despair, I have been weak and inconsistent. Covid-19 had me stuck for a few, but I had to recollect my thoughts, gather myself. In my heart, with faith I believe we won’t return back to the days of old, but the new normalcy. I am curious to see how many World Records drop in the next two years because all of these athletes are inside the home, missing competition. I have also been thinking I believe the sport of Track & Field is going to explode. The only activity one can conduct currently is, walking and jogging, the means to getting fit, isn’t at your local gym memberships, isn’t in a pickup basketball, futbol or softball game. I can’t believe the Basketball nets have Zipties.

Who knows but what I do know that the power is prayer and positive thinking. Please everyone practice socail distance, wear your mask in public. Make sure your eating the proper foods, reading and training.

DJ Premier vs RZA = No Score - Live Reflection - RECAP @REALDJPREMIER @RZA #RZAvsDJPremier

I can’t believe i am witnessing the records being released. Musical history during the times we are in, the hiphop GODS, came together and brought a moment, DJ Premier “ Timeless music”, Rza says “Beauty comes in all flavors”. DJ Premier has just dropped Unbelievable by Biggie Smalls, easily one of my favorite records of all time.

The nostalgic feeling to hear arguably 40 of the hottest records composed, in a musical genre which became my childhood anthems. I am noticing that towards the end ODB & Biggie Smalls (Brooklyn) was the heat in the battle keeping these legends alive. The comment thread was energetic, smiles and love around the chat room, as we get accustomed in the virtual world. Amazing to see the game changers, legends, pioneers to friends, family members all engaged in a monumental moment. I am looking forward when the tidal playlist drops, this is something I would play for my future family, this is the standard of the golden era.

Black Thought Zones Out on the NPR Tiny Desk #StreamsOfThought Series

Day 30 of COVID-19. Worldwide we are all in it together. In these times positive vibes only. Many of us have been inside our homes, entertained by various mediums. The IG Battles have been innovative, genuinely the intentions where to spread love. Salute to all the artists, who have taken their crafts serious and utilize their platforms to spread love and awareness.

Growing up my father played so many great bands, Earth Wind & Fire, Parliament Funk. As youth I would hear stories of the Mothership landing in Boston. James Brown standing in downtown talking to the people after Dr.King was assassinated. Once again the musical genius are at again, this time I will tell my future family, about the greatness of the Roots Crew.

The standard has been set, if you aren’t familiar with the Tariq Trotter aka Black Thought & Ahmir Khalib Thompson aka Questlove the founders of the Legendary Roots Crew. God Willing once we get back to interacting to some degree, make sure you catch the Roots Crew Live. In the meanwhile check out their youtube Channel: The Roots

Special salute Abby O’Neil NPR!
