Lapho iningi labantu licabanga i-honeymoon, ngokuvamile abacabangi ngokufaneleka. Ngemuva kobuhlanya bokuhlelela umshado, ukulala endaweni yokuphumula eshisayo ene-cocktail ebandayo esandleni sakho maphakathi nomhlaba kunendlela yokuzwakala kahle kakhulu.

Kepha ukuzivocavoca kuyisidambisi esikhulu kimi, ngakho-ke lapho mina nomyeni wami uChristo sihlela ukuya eholidini langemva komshado e-Italy, ngangazi ukuthi amateki ambalwa azongena epotimendeni lami. Bazongisiza ukuba ngibalekele i-jet lag futhi ngigcine ukukhathazeka kuthambile. Kodwa-ke ngangazi ukuthi noma ngabe ngangizitshela kangakanani ukuthi ngizosebenza, amasonto amabili ewayini elibomvu ne-pizza, imigwaqo enomoya wasogwini lwase-Amalfi e-Italy (funda: nakanjani ayilungele ukugijima), futhi izindawo zokuzivocavoca zehhotela ezisezingeni eliphansi zingangivimbela kalula ekuzilolongeni.

Ngibe sengibhalisela imarathon engaba yingxenye eyenzeka ezinsukwini eziyisithupha ngemuva kokuya esikhathini sangemva komshado. Manje, angisiye umhleli omkhulu wamagoli, kepha ngibhalisela isigamu-IBoston Athletic Association Half Marathon, umjaho ebengilokhu ngifuna ukuwenza nomunye wabangane bami abakhulu wabonakala uyinselele enhle.

I-Honeymoon

Ngafika endaweni yokunyathelisa yehhotela umjaho wamamayela amathathu nesigamu ngosuku lwethu lokuqala e-Italy. Mhlawumbe bengizokwenza lokho noma ngabe ngigijima umjaho noma cha (i-cardio isiza ukudambisa i-jet lag yami). Kepha amaseshini amabili alandelayo-ama-mile-nohhafu agijimayo anezisindo ezithile ekuseni ngaphambi kokuthi siphume usuku lonke lokubuka indawo-bekungeke kwenzeke neze.

Eqinisweni, enye yezingxenye ezichaze kakhulu i-honeymoon yethu yenzeke ngamaphesenti ayi-100 ngenxa yalo mjaho. Ngosuku lwethu lwesibili e-Tuscany, isifunda sewayini sase-Italy, savuka embhedeni nesidlo sasekuseni esithandekayo esibizwa ngokuthi i-L'Olmo, ngaphandle nje kwedolobhana le-Renaissance e-Pienza. Sadla ukudla kwasekuseni eduze kwechibi elingapheli lehhotela, elibheke amakhilomitha amaningi amagquma aluhlaza nezivini futhi lizungezwe imibhede ehlotshiswe ngamakhethini amhlophe qhwa, lalibukeka njengokuthile okuvela emaphusheni akho. Izinga lokushisa laliphelele. Ilanga lase liphumile. Besingahlala lapho usuku lonke nama-Aperol spritzes ngaphandle kwesikhalazo emhlabeni.

Kepha bekumele ngigijime amamayela ayi-10. Ngobusuku bangaphambili (yize ngemva kwezingilazi ezimbalwa zewayini), ngangihlele lokho okwakubonakala kuseduze nalelo banga. UChristo wayevumile ukuhamba nami ngebhayisikili kwelinye lamabhayisikili aqashisayo asezintabeni. (Kuyasiza ukuthi naye ungumqeqeshi wethenisi wasekolishi, ngakho uhlale ezimisele ngokujima.) Lapho sitshela abanye abasanda kushada ababehlala ehhotela ngohlelo lwethu, babonakala … bemangele. Ezinye izithandani zathi azizange ziwapakishe ngisho namateku azo. Omunye usitshele ukuthi bayeka ukuzivocavoca phakathi nohambo lwabo. (Akunamahloni; wonke umuntu wehlukile!)

Mina noChristo sacabanga ukuthi ngaphezu kokunyonyoba kwami ​​ekugcineni, uhambo olude lokugijima ngebhayisikili lwaluzoba indlela ehlukile yokuzijwayeza indawo futhi sizokwazi ukubona izwe lewayini ngezinyawo.

Kwakumangalisa.

Kwaphela amahora amaningi, ngagijima, futhi uChristo wahamba ngebhayisikili ezindleleni zothuli ezikleliswe izihlahla zomsayiphuresi zaseTuscany, emi ukuze ezothwebula izithombe. Sahamba ngendlela yethu sidlula izitendi zasemapulazini nezindawo zewayini nezindawo zokudlela zasendaweni. Sakha amagilebhisi. Ngangigijima ngehla ngenyuka emigwaqweni eminyene, enamagquma ehlanganisa amadolobha enkathi ephakathi azungezwe izinqaba. Undizele phansi ngamagquma aphakeme ngamasondo amabili. Njalo ngemizuzu embalwa, kuvuleka izinkundla ezesabekayo zezivini namadlelo. KwakuyiTuscany ofunda ngayo futhi oyibona ezithombeni zasemoyeni zama-movie nezembozo zomagazini.

Futhi yize ngingalibonanga kahle ibanga lohambo lwethu-sigcine sigijima sahamba ngebhayisikili cishe ngamamayela ayi-12 - saqeda edolobheni elisentabeni lapho sathola khona indawo yokudla kwasemini emgodini odongeni yamasemishi nobhiya wase-Italy.

Ngemva kwalelo zwe elinewayini, cishe ingxenye yesigamu, angizange ngibaleke kwaze kwaba yilapho sifika ehhotela elicakwe mhlophe elibizwa ngokuthi iCasa Angelina, elakhiwe eweni ogwini lwase-Amalfi. Kwakuyizinsuku ezimbalwa kamuva futhi ngasekupheleni kohambo lwethu. Ngokwazi ukuthi ngangingeke ngikwazi ukuhamba izinsuku eziningi ngaphandle komgwaqo ogandayiwe, ngaziphoqa ukuba ngiphume embhedeni ngaphambi kwelanga ekuseni ukuze ngigijime imizuzu engu-45 kumshini wokunyathelisa—okwenzeka nje ukuthi ngibheke uLwandle lwaseTyrrhenian, iPositano ephuphile, nesiqhingi saseCapri. buqamama. Kwezwakala kukuhle. Ngahlala phansi ngesikhathi sokudla kwasekuseni ngizizwa ngiphumelele futhi nginamandla.

IHalf Marathon

Ungangizwa kabi, umjaho ubusenzima. Ngokwengxenye kungenxa yokuthi le nkambo idume ngamagquma ngohlelo lwepaki yaseBoston, i-Emerald Necklace. Isimo sezulu naso sasiyilolu hlobo lokufudumala oluguquguqukayo lapho ngakolunye uhlangothi ujabule ilanga lingashisi, kodwa ngakolunye, uzizwa sengathi usendlini ye-steam. Kodwa ikakhulukazi, kwakunzima ngoba lowo muzwa we-jet-laggy wawusekhona.

Ngenhlanhla, ku-mile 11, iqale ukuthulula-i-cooldown eyamukelekile ngemva komjaho oshisayo. Futhi lapho siwela umugqa wokuqeda (emizuzwini embalwa nje ngemva kwemaki lamahora amabili!), ngangazi ukuthi umjaho ubuyikhambi elikahle lokunqanda ukusabalala kwendiza kanye nendlela enhle yokuhlala usendleleni ngokuqina. Iphinde yasiza ekwakheni i-honeymoon ephumelelayo egcwele ukuhlola nomsebenzi nokwenza ubumnandi.

Ukube angizange ngihlele ingxenye, ngiqinisekile ukuthi ngabe nginyonyobile okumbalwa ukusebenzisa usuku lwami lwangemva komshado, kodwa bengingeke ngibe nokuthile engingakulindela, nokuthile engizosebenzela kukho, nokuthile engingaziqhenya ngakho lapho lezo zikhathi zangemva komshado, ezangemva komshado kwenzeke kanjani-konke-kusheshe kangaka? imizwa yakhuphuka.

Okubaluleke kakhulu, ngangingeke ngiluthathe lolo hambo lwamakhilomitha angu-12 ngizungeza emaphandleni aseTuscan ngalolo suku. Lolo suku ngolunye esikukhumbule njalo ezinsukwini ezimbalwa, sicabanga ngokubuka nemisindo kanye nezinkumbulo zamandla ezibaluleke kakhulu kunendondo.
