While coronavirus continues to spread, some states, such as Texas, California, Arizona, and Florida, among others are reporting record-high cases and hospitalizations in recent days. Along with a spike in cases has been a wave of canceled races including the New York City Marathon, and you might be wondering what you should do for your own personal health during this time and how this could affect your training and your runs.

2020 is weird. There’s just no getting around it. Few would have believed that fans of Korean popular music were going to be a driving force behind fighting police brutality and white supremacy following the George Floyd protests. But that’s exactly what happened. Fans of the popular music genre are using their knowledge of online platforms to rally support for political causes and solicit donations.

After the worldwide protests that erupted over the killing of George Floyd, it is hard for me to imagine any person, company, or institution, continuing to discount the role that racism plays in our society. People all over are demanding an end to racial discrimination that is embedded in our social systems.
