Uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Nike efonini yami, engilusebenzisela ukulandelela ama-runs ami, lungicela ukuthi ngilinganise ngalunye lapho ngiqedile esikalini esithi "Ngizizwe nginganqandeki!" (ubuso obumoyizelayo!) kuya ku- "Ngalimala" (ubuso obudabukile). Ukuskrola emlandweni wami, ngiyakwazi ukubona ukuphakama nokwehla ebangeni, isikhathi, ijubane, kanye nezilinganiso zonyaka odlule, nokuthi zihlobana kanjani (noma azihlobani, njengoba kwenzeka kakhulu). Ukulungiselela i-marathon yesigamu ezayo, ngisanda kubheka emuva kukho konke ukuqeqeshwa kwami ​​okude futhi angimangazanga ukuthola ukuthi izinyathelo ezisheshayo azingahambelani nokumamatheka, futhi nezihamba kancane azihambelani nokukhophozela.

Into iwukuthi, ngiyazi ukuthi angiyena umgijimi osheshayo...futhi lokho kulungile kimi. Noma ngiyithanda imijaho yomgwaqo—izibukeli ezijabulayo, ubungane nabanye ababambi qhaza, injabulo yokuwela umugqa wokugcina—umjaho wami wenjabulo ngemva komjaho awuhlangene nokuthi ngithole i-PR noma cha. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi angigijimeli ukuwina, ngisho noma ngiwina kusho ukuzishaya. (Uma bengikwenzile, bengizobe sengikudele manje.) Ngikwenza ukugcina umzimba wami uqinile nengqondo yami icacile, ngoba iyindlela elula kakhulu futhi engabizi kakhulu yokuzivocavoca umzimba, futhi ngoba ngemuva kobuntwana nobusha bokuzonda gijima, ngabona lapho ngimdala-engekho uthisha wejimu ephethe isitophuwashi noma umqeqeshi ememeza eceleni-ukuthi ngithola injabulo esigqini sokuzindla sokubeka unyawo olulodwa phambi kolunye kanye nokuziphatha kokulandela uhlelo lokuqeqesha. (Ngenye yezinto ezingama-30 esizithandayo ngokugijima.)

Lokho akusho ukuthi ukungahambi kwami, ijubane elifana nofudu kwesinye isikhathi akukhathazi kancane. Ohambweni lwakamuva oluya eCalifornia, umyeni wami uthathe isinqumo sokujoyina nami ukugijima ekuseni ebhishi. Siqale eceleni, kepha ngemuva kwengxenye yemayela noma kunjalo, bengibona ukuthi ufuna ukushesha. Mina, ngijabulela ukukhanya kwelanga nomoya ohelezayo kanye nohambo lwami lokukhululeka, angizange, kodwa ngizizwa ngicindezelwa ukuba ngiqhubeke, ngazama ukusheshisa ijubane. Imilenze yami yahluleka nje ukukuguqula ngokushesha lokho; izinyawo zami zazicwila esihlabathini, ngenza zonke izinyathelo zibe yinselele, futhi angikwazi nje ukwenza umzimba wami wenze lokho ebengikufuna. I-monologue yami yangaphakathi isuke isuka kokuthi "Bheka lawo magagasi amahle! Ukugijima ebhishi yikhona okungcono kakhulu!" "Uyancela! Kungani ungakwazi ukuhambisana nomuntu ocishe angalokothi agijime?" (Ekugcineni, ngamkholisa ukuthi aqhubeke ngaphandle kwami ​​ukuze ngikwazi ukuhamba ngejubane lami, futhi ukusa kwaba mnandi futhi.)

Kwesinye isikhathi nginqume ukushesha, ukwakha ama-sprint nomsebenzi wejubane esimisweni sami sokuzivocavoca (thola ukuthi ungasusa kanjani iMinithi Ngisuse Isikhathi Sakho Se-Mile!), Kepha lokho kuzivocavoca akukunganelisi ngendlela okwenziwa ngayo iseshini engahlelekile kangako, futhi ngigcina ngeqe iningi labo. Ngakho-ke nginqume ukuthi kungcono ngibe nomkhuba wokuqina engiwuthandayo kunokuba nginqume imizuzwana yami ngejubane lami le-10K. Futhi ukunganaki isikhathi kungaba ukukhulula! Imvamisa ngincintisana kakhulu (mane ungiphosele inselelo kumdlalo weScrabble futhi uzothola ukuthi ngiqonde ukuthini), futhi ngibonile ukuthi kunganelisa impela ukusebenza kanzima entweni ethile ngenxa yokusebenza kanzima- futhi ngoba kumnandi.

Ngoba ukugijima kuyinto kumnandi. Futhi kuyindlela yokusula ingqondo yami, ukushisa amandla okwethuka, nokulala kangcono. Kunginikeza amathuba okuchitha isikhathi esiningi emvelweni futhi ngihlole izindawo ezintsha. Ivumela u-ayisikhilimu owengeziwe ekudleni kwami. Futhi kuyindlela yami engiyithandayo ukuxosha ngokufanelekile igama elithi "umgijimi ophakeme" -inhlanganisela enamandla yezithukuthuku nama-endorphin okungekho enye indlela yokuzivocavoca eyake yangiletha ngokungaguquki. Uma ngicabanga ngazo zonke izinto ezigijimayo kunginika zona, kubonakala sengathi okuhle kakhulu komuntu siqu, njenge-cherry yesaga ephezulu kodwa engadingeki.
