Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Yiya kuyo nayiphi na ingoma kwaye uya kubona ngoko nangoko ukuba ukubaleka ngumdlalo ozimeleyo. Wonke umntu une-gait eyahlukileyo, isitrayikhi seenyawo, kunye nokukhethwa kwezihlangu. Akukho ziimbaleki zimbini ezifanayo, kwaye neenjongo zazo zohlanga azifani. Abanye abantu bafuna ukubaleka ii-5Ks, abanye bafuna ukubetha i-marathon kwilizwekazi ngalinye. Kodwa kukho ubungqina bokuba bonke abo, kakhulu, kakhulu imitsi omde ayiphindi kane izibonelelo zemitsi yakho emfutshane. "Akuthathi ngaphezu kwemizuzu emihlanu okanye eyi-10 yokuzivocavoca ukufezekisa zonke iinzuzo zokulawula ubunzima kunye nokuziva ukhululekile ukuphucula isimo sakho sengqondo," kusho uHeather Milton, isazi somzimba ophezulu kwi-NYU Langone Medical Centre. Hayi hayi, eso slog seyure ezintandathu asinto ingcono kuwe kunokuphindaphinda imayile emfutshane nangokukhawuleza.

Kwaye, uqeqesho lweemarathon luza nomkhosi walo weengozi. Ngokufanelekileyo, icinezela ubomi bakho bezentlalo nzima kunoG osetyenzisiweyo kwicala lekhosi. Xa udibanisa ubusuku bangoLwesihlanu kwangoko kunye neefowuni zokuvuka zangoMgqibelo, loo nto ayishiyi ixesha elininzi lokutya ixesha elide, lokutya kunye neiglasi zewayini ezingapheliyo. Isiqingatha seembaleki zikuvumela ukuba uphile (ngokomlinganiselo) ngokwesiqhelo, kwaye batya ixesha elincinci kakhulu ngemini yakho. Ngexesha lam lokuqala lokuqeqeshwa kwesiqingatha, ndisakhumbula ukubamba ukutya kwaseTshayina ezinzulwini zobusuku, emva koko ndijike ndibaleke ngentsasa elandelayo ngathi ayiyonto. Uqeqesho lweMarathon luziva lukhulu kunobomi kuba lunjalo. Ingqondo yakho icoca indawo eshelufini kwaye iyiphawule NGOKUXHANYA KWE-MARATHON. Kulapho ulahla khona uloyiko lwakho malunga namaxesha, izinxibo, imozulu, kwaye kufuneka ubambe phakathi komdyarho. (Ewe! Kutheni ukubaleka kukwenza ube Poop?) Emva kweenyanga ezine zoqeqesho, loo shelf iba nzima kakhulu.

Olunye uncedo lokubaleka isiqingatha seemarathoni kunye nemigama emifutshane kukuba kufuneka uqhubeke ubaleka. Abadlali beMbaleki bayacetyiswa ukuba bathathe lula kwiintsuku ezingama-26 (usuku olunye kwimayile nganye) emva komdyarho omkhulu! (Funda phezulu ukuba loluphi uqeqesho kugqatso olude olwenzayo kwimilenze yakho.) Kwisiqingatha seembaleki, kwelinye icala, banokubuyela kwimikhwa yabo yesiqhelo ngokukhawuleza kakhulu ukuba baziva bonwabile. UMilton uthi oku kuchacha ngokukhawuleza kungenxa yokubetha kancinci kumalungu akho ngenxa yomgama omfutshane. Uqeqesho olufanelekileyo luyanceda, ngokunjalo, kunjalo.

Xa ndandizilolongela isiqingatha sam sokuqala, ndandingazi ukuba mandibaleke kangakanani, nditye ntoni, okanye nokuba andifanele ukubaleka ebusuku ndinxibe konke okumnyama. Kodwa enye intsikelelo endandingayilindelanga yayikukuba ndandingazi ukuba ndingazazi kangakanani na. Into endiyaziyo kukuba imayile nganye isaziva ngathi luloyiso.

UMilton uyayixhasa le nto, esithi kulula kakhulu ukufumana uqeqesho olufanelekileyo ngesiqingatha endaweni yomdyarho opheleleyo. "Kuninzi lwabadlali bembaleki into eza iveki okanye bayatyibilika okanye abanako ukungena kuloo midyarho inde, kwaye abaziva bekulungele ngokwaneleyo," utshilo. "[Umdyarho] awunakuphelela ekubeni mnandi njengamava, ngakumbi ukuba uyasokola kule yokugqibela yeemayile ezine okanye ezintlanu ... i-13-mile yeemayile ngokuqinisekileyo inengqondo."

Kwaye mhlawumbi le yimfihlelo encinci yomdyarho wesiqingatha semarathoni: Inokwenzeka ngokulula. Ngokungafaniyo nomdyarho opheleleyo, akufuneki uzinikele kuqeqesho lweenyanga ezine zobomi bakho. Usenako ukusela kwaye uncokole kwaye ucinge ngezinye izinto. Emva komdyarho, umzimba wakho ohlaselweyo ubuyela ngokukhawuleza okukhulu. Kwaye yile nto: Umzimba wakho uya kukumangalisa. Emva kwesiqingatha sakho semarathon, uya kujonga ekukhanyeni okutsha ngokupheleleyo.

Umdyarho wam wokuqala wesiqingatha sokuqala wawungo-2012, yintoni ngoku i-SHAPE Women's Half Marathon (ungabhalisa apha!). Ixesha lam yayingu-2: 10: 12, kodwa ndizazi kuphela ezi zinto ngenxa yeerekhodi ezikwi-Intanethi. Xa ndazama ukucinga emva kwisiqingatha sam sokuqala, ngokunyanisekileyo andizange ndiyikhumbule indlela endandivakalelwa ngayo. Ngaba ndandisoyika? Ukruqukile? Ukujija ngeentlungu?

Into elungileyo i-Gmail igcina bonke ubungqina bugcinwe kude. Emva kokukhangela, ndifumene i-imeyile kumhlobo wembaleki kwiinyanga ezimbini ngaphambi kosuku lomdyarho: "Ndabhalisela isiqingatha sam sokuqala-ngo-Epreli! Kwaye ngoku ndiza kuwe, ingcali, ndicela ingcebiso ... ndenze ntoni ukuqeqesha ??" Ezinye ii-imeyile eziya kubahlobo ziquka ezi zamatye: "Zingaphi iimayile ekumele ndiphakame ndiye kuzo ngaphambili?" kwaye "Andizange ndicinge nokuba eli laphu linokukhubekisa?" (Kamva ndaye ndafunda ngale ndlela inzima.) Akukho namnye owayetyhila njengale imeyile kumhlobo wam uAdam, kwiiveki ezintathu ngaphambi komdyarho: "ndinexhala malunga nesiqingatha semarathon ukuba ndingafa" Akukho ziphumlisi, akukho capitalisation. Bendisoyika nyani. Kwaye emva kweminyaka emine? Andikhumbuli nomzuzwana wayo. Ngoba?

Ndiqala ukuqonda ngoku ukuba kutheni iinkumbulo zam zingenangqondo. Olona hambo lukhulu lokubaleka malunga nokubaleka kwisiqingatha sokuqala semarathon ayisiyiyo imvakalelo yokuwela umgca wokugqibela. Yimvakalelo ehlamba phezu kwakho kusuku olulandelayo nakwiiveki kunye neenyanga ezilandelayo, echaza ukungena kwam kwijenali kwiiveki nje ezimbini emva kwesiqingatha sokuqala: "Ndiza kukhumbula namhlanje njengosuku endaphumelela ilotho, ndabetha inkqubo, kwaye ndayifumana. phandle ndizakube ndibaleka iNew York City Marathon ngoNovemba 4. " Ngaphandle kweso siqingatha sokuqala, andizange ndifumane ukuzithemba ukuzama ngokupheleleyo.

Ubuhle behafu yemarathon yile nto ilala kumathuba alandelayo. Ubaleka isiqingatha sakho sokuqala kwaye akukho nto iphikayo ukuba uyimbaleki "yokwenyani". Ubaleka umdyarho wakho wesiqingatha sokuqala kwaye ucinge, "Ndingaphinda ndiyenze kwakhona," kwaye mhlawumbi uyakwenza. Ubaleka okokuqala kwaye ucinge, "Akukho ndlela ndingabaleka ngayo ngokupheleleyo," kodwa emva kweenyanga ezimbalwa ubambe phakathi komjikelo woqeqesho olunzulu onokumangalisa ukuzithemba kwakho kwangaphambili. (Kuyamkeleka ngokugqibeleleyo ukuba ungaze usebenze umdyarho opheleleyo, nangona kunjalo.

Kukho iziganeko ezibalulekileyo ozozikhumbula ngonaphakade-ezo unokuzikrola kwimedali okanye ubhalwe ngomvambo kulusu lwakho. Kwaye kukho amava ashiyekileyo ngasemva, lawo aziva eyimbalasane ngelo xesha kodwa aphelayo de angabi sahluka kulo naluphi na olunye uhlanga. Uzilibele ngenxa yokuba uye wolula imida yakho ngakumbi ukusukela ngoko kangangokuba awukhumbuli ixesha apho into yayiziva ingenakoyiswa. Ngoku, nguwe imbaleki esondeza isiqu sakho sangaphambili, iingalo zijinga, isifuba sinyusa, umgca wokugqibela omtsha kwindawo ethile.
