Ekukhuleni kwam, ndandisoloko ndingu "big kid"-ngoko ke kukhuselekile ukuthi ndisokole ubunzima ubomi bam bonke. Ndandisoloko ndigezelwa ngendlela endikhangeleka ngayo ndaza ndazibona sele ndiphethukela ekutyeni ukuze ndithuthuzeleke. Kwafika kwinqanaba lokuba ndicinge ukuba kunjalo wajonga ngento yokutya, ndingafumana iponti.

Umnxeba wam wokuvuka wafika ngo-2010 xa ndandinowona mthwalo unzima. Ndandinobunzima obuziiponti ezingama-274 kwaye ndandikwitheko lam lokuzalwa leminyaka engama-30 xa intombi yam yeza kum ibaleka ifuna ukwanga. Intliziyo yam yatshona emathunjini xa ndibona ukuba akakwazi ukundisonga izandla. Ngalo mzuzu ndandisazi ukuba kukho into ekufuneka itshintshile. Ukuba ndandingenzi nto eyahlukileyo, ndandiza kufa nge-40, ndishiye intombi yam ingenamzali. Ke ngelixa bendifuna ukwenza utshintsho kum, kuye kwafuneka ndenze njalo yena. Ndandifuna ukuba ngoyena mzali ubalaseleyo.

Ngelo xesha ebomini bam, bendingazilolongi kwaphela, kwaye bendisazi ukuba kufuneka ndiqale ngokuzibekela injongo. Ndingumlandeli omkhulu weDisney kwaye ndifunde amabali amaninzi malunga nabantu abahamba baya kwiindawo zeDisneyland kwihlabathi liphela ukuqhuba iiarathons ezinesiqingatha. Ndathengiswa. Kodwa kuqala, kuye kwafuneka ndifunde ukubaleka kwakhona. (Idibeneyo: Iintlanga ezili-10 ezigqibeleleyo kubantu abaQalayo ukuSebenza)

Ukubaleka yinto endandiyiphepha naxa ndidlala imidlalo kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, ndiye ndathatha inyathelo elinye ngexesha. Ndiqale ukuya ejimini, kwaye ixesha ngalinye, bendicofa iqhosha le-5K kwitreadmill. Ndawugqiba loo mgama nokuba ndithathe ixesha elingakanani. Ekuqaleni, ndandibaleka kuphela malunga nekota yemayile kwaye kwafuneka ndihambe ngokushiyekileyo-kodwa ndandisoloko ndigqibile.

Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa kamva, ndandikwazi ukubaleka ezo khilomitha ze-3 ngaphandle kokumisa. Emva koko, ndaziva ngathi ndikulungele ngokwenene ukuqala uqeqesho kwisiqingatha sam sokuqala.

Ndilandele indlela kaJeff Galloway yokubaleka kuba ndicinga ukuba izakusebenza kakuhle kum njengembaleki engenamava. Ndabaleka iintsuku ezintathu ngeveki kwaye ndaqala ukutya ukucoceka. Andizange ndihambe ngokwenene "kwisidlo," kodwa ndanikela ingqalelo ngakumbi kwiilebhile zokutya kwaye ndiyeke ukutya okukhawulezayo.

Ndenze kwakhona ii-5K ezininzi ukulungiselela ugqatso kwaye ndikhumbule ngokucacileyo ixesha endabhalisa ngalo i-8-miler kwi-whim. Lowo yayiza kuba ngowona mgama ukude endandibaleka kuwo ngaphambi kwesiqingatha sam, kwaye ukufumana kuwo kwakunzima kunayo nantoni na endakhe ndenza ngaphambili. Ndingowokugqibela ukugqiba kwaye kukho indawo encinci yam eyayisoyika into eza kwenzeka ngomhla wohlanga.

Kodwa kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa kamva, bendikumgca wokuqala kwiDisney World, eOrlando, ngethemba lokuba ukuba akukho enye into, ndizakudlula nje ekugqibeleni. Iikhilomitha zokuqala ezimbalwa zazingcungcuthekiswa; njengoko ndandisazi ukuba bayakuba njalo. Kwaye kwenzeka into emangalisayo: Ndaqala ukuziva Kulungile. Ngokukhawuleza. Yomelele. Kucacile. Yeyona nto yayibaleka kakhulu, kwaye yenzekile xa ndingayilindelanga.

Olo gqatso lwaluvuselela uthando lwam lokubaleka. Ukusukela ngoko, ndigqibe ii-5Ks ezingenakubalwa kunye nesiqingatha semarathoni. Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ndabaleka umdyarho wam wokuqala eDisneyland eParis. Kuthathe iiyure ezingama-6-kodwa akukaze kube malunga nesantya kum, kumalunga nokuphela kwayo kwaye uzothuse ngalo lonke ixesha. Ngoku ndizilungiselela ukubaleka i-TCS New York City Marathon, andiyikholelwa into eyenziwa ngumzimba wam kwaye ndothukile yile yokuba unako baleka imayile.

Namhlanje, ndilahlekile ngaphezulu kweeponti ze-100 kwaye kulo lonke uhambo lwam, ndiye ndabona ukuba ukwenza utshintsho kwakungekho malunga nobunzima. Isikali ayisiyiyo yonke into kunye nesiphelo-konke. Ewe, ilinganisa amandla omxhuzulane emzimbeni wakho. Kodwa ayilinganisi ukuba zingaphi iimayile onokuzibaleka, ukuba ungaphakamisa malini, okanye ukonwaba kwakho.

Ndijonge phambili, ndiyathemba ukuba ubomi bam buba ngumzekelo kwintombi yam kwaye ndiyifundise ukuba unokwenza nantoni na obeka ingqondo yakho kuyo. Indlela inokuziva inde kwaye iyadinisa xa uqala ukuseta, kodwa umgca wokugqibela ulunge kakhulu.
