Q: Yini ekukhuthaze ukuthi uqeqeshele iNew York City Marathon?
IMP: Ngithole ucingo lwe-SOS oluvela ku-Harlem United ukuthi badinga usizo lokuhlangabezana nenhloso yabo yokuqongelela imali. Babehlanganisa iqembu eligijima ibanga elide futhi bangicela ukuba ngibe kulo. I-Harlem United ingumhlinzeki wezinsizakalo ze-AIDS. Imodeli yabo yezokwelapha ivelele kakhulu futhi iphelele. Banikeza yonke into kusukela ekudleni nasekuzivocavoceni kuya ekwelashweni kobuciko nokunakekelwa kwasekhaya. Basebenza ngokukhethekile kubantu abagula ngengqondo, abayizigqila zezidakamizwa noma abangenamakhaya--abantu abangenayo inethiwekhi yokuphepha ngokuya ngezinsizakalo ze-HIV/AIDS.
Q: Lwaluyini uhlelo lwakho lokuqeqesha?
IMP: Bengifuna ukuzama ukugijima imarathon, kepha kuhlale kuvela okuthile: ngibe nengane no-C-section noma ngalimala noma bengingacabangi ukuthi ngingagijima ibanga elide kangaka. Ngiqeqeshe ngisebenzisa indlela ye-Jeff Galloway RUN-WALK-RUN. Ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti, angikwazanga ukugijima ngaphezu kwamamayela ama-5 - lokho kwakungudonga lwami. Kancane kancane ngakhulisa ibanga lami ngisebenzisa uhlelo lokuqeqesha olugijima lwe-Galloway. Maphakathi noSepthemba, ngangenza amakhilomitha ayi-18. Ukuba ngumama omatasa, kufanele uqeqeshe lapho ukwazi khona, ekuseni kakhulu noma ngemva kokuba izingane ziyolala.
Umbuzo: Bekunjani usuku lwakho lomjaho?
A: Kwakuwumzuzu wokuzincinza. Ukubona abasubathi abasezingeni eliphezulu, abasubathi abakhubazekile nabahamba ngesihlalo esinamasondo, kukunikeza umuzwa wangempela wobungane ukuthi ulapho nabantu abanqobe zonke izinselele zabo ukuze baphile impilo engenamingcele. Uthando lwalugcwele yonke indawo. Kwakukhuthaza ukuba phakathi kwabantu abaningi kangaka ababegijima ngenjongo ethile.
Q: Ngaphandle kokusebenza, ulandela hlobo luni lohlelo lokuzivocavoca?
