Uniting Conscious Social and Active minded Hip Hoppers

Central Park Saturday JOG!

The idea is simple.
1. Fitness
2. Fun
3. Family
4. Fellowship!

Meet new people.. Meet NYOIL ... have a new experience and get fit all at once.
I believe that as a movement and as an artist it is going to be important to expand the scope of what we do and who we are beyond just talking about what's wrong with life and the people around us.
I want to be progressive and focus on what's good about life.. I want to effect change by being proactive about issues I can address and resolve.
The health of our communities is in dire straights.. obesity in the black communities is epidemic.
As a result of my experiences with Team Tsunami Track Club my fitness goals have come into range at an incredible rate. I've dropped a Pants size and have lost so many inches around my stomach it's incredible.. I feel great and I'd like to share that with the members.
SO
I'm going to start a Central Park Saturday Jog NOVEMBER 7th 2009 @ 11am
IF your interested in coming out Please email me your contact information (telephone number ) so we can call u with the specifics.

I hope to see some of my good friends and fans from the IDEAL out there!!

I'll piggyback off of NYOIL and will do a session on November 7th in Colorado Springs. Found a simple three mile run called America the Beautiful. If anybody is interested send me a message and I'll give you times and starting place.

For anybody else that wants to start chapters go here and you should be able to find running routes in your area.; ▶ Reply to This

1. We gotta get some one to video some of the run or at least the stuff before the run! so we can add it to a video we'll make after the run
2. Get the participants to join the site so they can share their experiences and be apart of the community.. this is just the beginning of a much larger thing i'll be doing here.
3. HAVE FUN and rep for NYOIL and the IDEAL website!!; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by newk on October 28, 2009 at 1:24pm: on a side note, what are your fitness goals NYOIL? is it a mirror goal (i.e. lose X amount of weight) or is more of running goal (i.e. run X amount of miles without stopping, or run a mile in X amount of time); ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by NYOIL on October 28, 2009 at 6:37pm: Well for me my primary goals are to loose some weight.. I'm 5'8" and 235lbs..
I've lost some weight but i don't know how much.. i'm tryna get down to a 36 waist and be able to see my abs.
as for distance.. i can run about 4 miles right now if i do it like an old white woman.. but at a decent stride i can do about a mile I'd like to get to the point i can run a strong 3 miles with a decent stride.

My main goal to be honest.. is just to be able to run when i want to .. where i want to.. whenever i want to.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by NYOIL on October 28, 2009 at 7:35pm: if u need to get your swift walk on.. then so be it.. it's all about coming out and moving and being in the spirit of activity.

We might try to get u to hit the old man run.. that's about the same as a walk..lol; ▶ Reply to This
