• Uphengululo lwe

Bendihlala ndikuthiyile ukubaleka-nokuba ndikhule ndingumdlali wevolleyball okhuphisanayo bendisoyika ukuyenza. Kwakudla ngokufuneka ndibethe intambo ngexesha lokuziqhelanisa, kwaye kwithuba nje elingephi ndiqale ndiqalekise imilenze yam ediniweyo kunye nemiphunga ephume umphefumlo. Ngoko xa ndaqalisa umsebenzi wam wePR kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo ndaza ndazifumana ndikwiofisi ezele ziimbaleki, ngoko nangoko ndabazisa ukuba andisayi kubathelela ekubalekeni kwabo emva komsebenzi okanye imidyarho.

Bandivumela de umqeshi wethu uququzelele i-5K (Fumana izinto ze-10 omele uzazi ngaphambi kwe-5K yakho yokuqala.). Ndinezizathu zam eziqhelekileyo-ndiyacotha, ndizokubamba-kodwa ngeli xesha oogxa bam abandivumeli ukuba ndihambe. "Akufani nokuba siziqeqeshela umgama omde wesiqingatha!" bandixelela. Ndiye ndathandabuza ndavuma ukuthatha inxaxheba nabo. Ndaya kugqatso lokuqala ndinesimo sengqondo esoyisakele. Ndakhe ndazama ukubaleka ngaphambili, kodwa andizange ndikwazi ukuyenza loo nto, ngoko ke ekupheleni kwemayile yokuqala, xa imilenze yam yayixinene kwaye imiphunga yam yayitshisa ndanikela kancinci ngengqondo. Ndandinomzuzu othi "Bendisazi ukuba andinakuyenza le nto" kwaye ndandikhathazeke kakhulu. Kodwa umntu endisebenza naye owayebaleka ecaleni kwam wathi ngelixa sinokuthoba isantya, asizukuma. Kwaye okumangalisayo kukuba, ndakwazi ukuqhubeka. Xa ndigqibile zonke iimayile ezi-3.2, andizange ndikholelwe indlela endiziva ndonwabe ngayo. Ndavuya kakhulu kuba andizange ndiyeke!

Ndiqale ukujoyina abantu endisebenza nabo kumgama weemayile ezi-3 ezijikeleze iiofisi zethu kube kanye okanye kabini ngeveki. Ndiqale ukuzifumana ndinemincili yokubaleka nabahlobo nabantu endisebenza nabo; kwaguqula ukuzilolonga kwam kwaba yinto yentlalontle xa kuthelekiswa no "kufuneka ndiye kwimithambo." Kulapho omnye umntu esisebenza naye wasixelela ukuba wayeziqeqeshela ihalf marathon. Into elandelayo endiyaziyo, sonke sasibhalisile. Bendingaphaya kovalo-khange ndibaleke ngaphezulu kwe-4 yeekhilomitha ngaphambili, ndiyeke i-13.1-kodwa bendikhe ndatyhoboza ipavumente naba bafazi okwethutyana kwaye ndiziva ndiqinisekile ukuba bazokuqeqesha isiqingatha semarathon, mna ingayenza nayo.

Njengombaleki oqalayo, ndaqale ndoyikiswa ngoqeqesho logqatso lweemayile ezili-13.1 kodwa mna noogxa bam sajoyina iqela loqeqesho le-half-marathon elalidibana rhoqo ngoMgqibelo. Kuthathe uqikelelo ngokulungiselela ugqatso. Baneshedyuli yoqeqesho esemgangathweni; into ekwakufuneka ndiyenze yayikukuzibophelela ekuyilandeleni, nto leyo endandiyithanda. Kwakhona ndafunda nendlela yokuzinzisa isantya ngokuziqeqesha neembaleki ezinamava.

Ndilukhumbula kakuhle usuku esenza ngalo i-7 yeekhilomitha. Ndaziva ndomelele indlela yonke kwaye, xa iphelile, ngendiqhubekile. Elo yaba lutshintsho kum. Ndacinga: Ndingayenza nyani le nto, ndiziqeqeshela isiqingatha semarathon kwaye ayizukundibulala. Umdyarho wawungoJuni 13, 2009, kwaye nangona ndandinemincili kwaye ndisazi ukuba ndizilolonge ngokufanelekileyo ndandisoyika ndilinde nabanye abagijimi abangama-5 000. Waphuma umpu ndacinga: Kulungile, akukho nto iya apha. Iimayile zabonakala ngathi ziyabhabha, nto leyo endiyaziyo ukuba iyaphambana kodwa yinyani. Ndide ndagqiba ngokukhawuleza kakhulu kunokuba bendicinga-ndiye ndafikelela entanjeni kwiiyure ezi-2 kunye nemizuzu eyi-9. Imilenze yam ibingathi yijeli kodwa bendizingca. Ukusukela ngoko, ndazichaza njengembaleki. Ndide ndiqeqeshele nolunye ugqatso kule nyanga. Ndibubungqina bokuba ukuba unenkqubo efanelekileyo yenkxaso, ungazityhalela kwimigama ongazange uyicinge.
