Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Ndiyakuthanda ukubaleka ebusuku. Ndaqala ukuyenza kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, kwaye akukho nto yakha yandenza ndaziva ndikhululekile kwaye ndinamandla. Ekuqaleni, yeza intle kum. Njengomntwana, ndandibalasele kwezemidlalo ezazifuna ukubaleka iinyawo, ibhola ekhatywayo kunye nomdaniso. Kodwa nangona ndandisebenza kakhulu, kukho into enye engazange ize lula kum: ubunzima bam. Khange ndibenayo into abanye abayibiza ngokuba "ngumzimba wembaleki," kwaye nanjengoko ndandikwishumi elivisayo, ndasokola nesikali. Ndandimfutshane, ndinesiqu, kwaye ndiziva ndibuhlungu.

Ndandikwiqela lomkhondo, kwaye ukuziqhelanisa kwakwenza amadolo am ukuba buhlungu, ke ngenye imini ndandwendwela umqeqeshi wesikolo ukuze ndifumane uncedo. Uxelele ukuba iingxaki zam emadolweni ziya kusonjululwa ukuba ndiphulukene nje neepawundi ezili-15. Wayengazi, ndandisele ndiphila ngokutya indlala yeekhalori ezingama-500 ngosuku ukuya nje gcina ubunzima bam. Ndidakumbile yaye ndidimazekile, ndaliyeka iqela ngosuku olulandelayo.

Yayikukuphela kovuyo lwam lokubaleka ebusuku. Okubi nangakumbi kukuba, kungekudala emva kokuba ndiphumelele kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, umama wabulawa ngumhlaza. Ndatyhala izihlangu zam ezibalekayo emva kwekhabethe lam, kwaye yayikukuphela kokubaleka kwam oko kwaphela.

Kwade kwango 2011 ndatshata ndazala abam ndaphinda ndacinga ngokubaleka. Umahluko, ngeli xesha, yayingenanto yakwenza nenani kwisikali kunye nayo yonke into yokwenza nokuba sempilweni ukuze ndibe nokubukela abantwana bam bekhula. Kwakukho nenxalenye yam eyayikhumbula inkululeko kunye namandla avela kumzimba owomeleleyo, kwaye ngubani owayefuna ukungqina kum ukuba ndingaphinda ndiphinde.

Ingxaki ekuphela kwayo: ndandinobukhulu obungama-22 kwaye ingekho kwimeko yokubaleka ephezulu. Kodwa andizukuvumela ubunzima bam bundibambe ekwenzeni into endiyithandayo. Ke ndathenga izihlangu ezibalekayo, ndazikhulisa, ndaza ndaphuma ngomnyango.

Ukubaleka xa unzima akukho lula. Ndinezithende zesithende kunye ne-shin splints. Iintlungu zam ezindala zamadolo zibuyile kanye, kodwa endaweni yokuyeka, bendiphumla ngokukhawuleza ndibuyele phaya. Enoba yayizinyathelo nje ezimbalwa okanye iimayile ezimbalwa, ndandibaleka busuku ngabunye ukutshona kwelanga, ngoMvulo ukusa ngoLwesihlanu. Ukubaleka kwaba ngaphezulu kokuzilolonga nje, kwaba lixesha lam "kum". Ngokukhawuleza emva kokuba umculo uvukile kwaye iinyawo zam zisukile, bendinalo ixesha lokucingisisa, ukucinga, kunye nokutshaja kwakhona. Ndaphinda ndaqalisa ukuziva inkululeko efumaneka ekubalekeni, yaye ndaqonda ukuba ndandiyiphosile.

Mandicace, nangona kunjalo: Ukuba sempilweni AYIYOnkqubo ekhawulezayo. Khange yenzeke ngobusuku obunye okanye kungaphelanga inyanga ezimbini. Ndagxila kwiinjongo ezincinci; ibenye ngexesha. Suku ngalunye ndandihamba kancinci, ndize ndikhawuleze kancinci. Ndithathe ixesha lokuphanda ngezona zihlangu zintle zeenyawo zam, ndifunde indlela echanekileyo yokwelula, kwaye ndifundiswe ngendlela efanelekileyo yokusebenza. Konke ukuzinikela kwam kwaba nemiphumo emihle njengoko ekugqibeleni imayile enye yajika yaba zimbini, ezimbini zajika zaba zintathu, kwaye emva koko emva konyaka, ndabaleka iimayile ezili-10. Ndisalukhumbula olo suku; Ndilile kuba bekuyiminyaka eyi-15 ndibaleke kude kangaka.

Nje ukuba ndifikelele kwinto ebaluleke kangaka, ndiye ndabona ukuba ndingazifezekisa iinjongo endizibekele zona ndaza ndaqala ukukhangela owona mceli mngeni mkhulu. Kwiveki ephelileyo ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndibhalisele IMFAHLA YOKUSETYENZISWA / YOKWENZA ISIQINGQI Sabafazi Marfathi kwisiXeko saseNew York. . Ngoko ndoyisa uloyiko oludala ndaza ndajoyina ijim ye-coed. (Nokuba awuzange ubaleke usuku ebomini bakho, ungawuwela umgca wokugqibela. Apha: Uqeqesho lweNyathelo ngeNyathelo lweHalf Marathon yeeMbaleki zeXesha Lokuqala.)

Ndandingaqinisekanga into endiya kuyonwabela ngaphandle kokugijima, ngoko ndazama yonke into-inkampu ye-boot, i-TRX, kunye ne-spinning (konke endikuthandayo kwaye ndiyenza rhoqo), kodwa kungekhona yonke into eyimpumelelo. Ndifunde ukuba andizukuya kwiZumba, ndigigitheka kakhulu ngexesha leyoga, kwaye ngelixa ndisonwabela umdlalo wamanqindi, ndalibala ukuba andingoMuhammad Ali kunye neediski ezimbini ze-herniated, ezandinika iinyanga ezintathu ezibuhlungu zonyango lomzimba. Elona qhekeza lilahlekileyo lephazili yam, nangona kunjalo? Ukuqeqeshwa kobunnzima. Ndaqesha umqeqeshi owandifundisa iziseko zokuphakamisa iintsimbi. Ngoku ndiyalinganisa ubunzima beentsuku ezintlanu ngeveki, nto leyo indenza ndizive ndomelele kwaye ndinamandla ngendlela entsha.

Akuzange kube kude ndabaleka ugqatso lweSpartan Super kweli hlobo lidlulileyo nomyeni wam apho ndaqonda ukuba ndihambe kangakanani kuhambo lwam lokunciphisa umzimba, ukuba sempilweni, kwaye ndibe luguqulelo olungcono kum. Andigqibanga nje ukugqiba umdyarho onzima we-8.5 yeemayile, kodwa ndangena kwindawo ye-38 kwiqela lam, ngaphezulu kwe-4,000 racers!

Akukho nanye kule nto yayilula kwaye akukho nanye eyenzeka ngokukhawuleza-sele kuyiminyaka emine ukusukela ngala mhla ndandiqala ukubeka izihlangu zam zokubaleka-kodwa andizukutshintsha nto. Ngoku xa abantu bebuza ukuba ndihambe njani ukusuka kubukhulu be-22 ukuya kubukhulu be-6, ndiyabaxelela ukuba ndiyenzile inyathelo elinye ngexesha. Kodwa kum ayimalunga nobungakanani bempahla okanye indlela endijongeka ngayo, imalunga nento endinokuyenza.
