"Karla, umathamanga tsiku lililonse, sichoncho?" Wobereka wanga ankamveka ngati mphunzitsi akukamba nkhani. Pokhapokha "masewerawo" anali ogwira ntchito komanso yobereka.

"Ayi aliyense tsiku, "ndinalira pakati pa kupuma.

"Mumathamanga marathons!" dokotala wanga anati. "Tsopano kankhani!"

Ndili ndi pakati, ndinasangalala kwambiri kuti ndakhala ndi pakati nthawi yonseyi.

Kuthamanga uku ndikukula munthu wina kunali kofanana ndi kubereka. Panali mphindi zabwino, nthawi zoyipa, komanso mphindi zoyipa. Koma zidakhala zosangalatsa zokhala ndi vuto lililonse panjira.

Ubwino Wothamanga Mimba Yanga

Kuthamanga kunandithandiza kukhazikitsa nthawi yayitali m'moyo wanga zomwe sizinali zina. Ndidamva ngati tizilombo tachilendo tatenga thupi langa, ndikuwononga mphamvu zanga, kugona, chilakolako, chitetezo chamthupi, magwiridwe antchito, malingaliro, nthabwala, zokolola, mumazitchula. (Mimba imabwera ndi zovuta zina.) Mwachidule, thupi langa silimamva ngati langa. M'malo mwa makina odalirika omwe ndimadziwa ndikukonda, thupi langa lidasandulika nyumba ya wina. Ndidapanga chisankho chilichonse chokhudza chilichonse m'moyo wanga ndi munthu winayo mu malingaliro. Ndinali "mayi," ndipo zinanditengera kanthawi kuti ndizungulire ubongo wanga pa chidziwitso chatsopanocho. Zinandipangitsa kudzimva kukhala wosiyana ndi ine nthawi zina.

Koma kuthamanga kunali kosiyana. Kuthamanga kunandithandiza kumva ngati ine. Ndidafunikira izi kuposa kale pomwe china chilichonse chimakhala chowopsya: nseru za usana ndi usiku, matenda pafupipafupi, kufooka kofooketsa, ndikumva kulira-kwa-kukhala-mayi. Kupatula apo, kuthamanga nthawi zonse kumakhala nthawi yanga "ine", pomwe ndimatseka dziko ndikutulutsa nkhawa. Kugula kwa stroller pa sitolo yayikulu kwambiri ya buybuy BABY kunatsala pang'ono kundigunda. Koma kuthamanga pambuyo pake kunandithandiza kupeza zen. Ndimayang'anitsitsa thupi langa, malingaliro anga, ndi moyo wanga kuposa nthawi ina iliyonse. Mwachidule, ndimamva bwino ndikathamanga. Sayansi ikuvomereza. Thukuta limodzi lokha lingathetsere nkhawa mukakhala ndi pakati, malinga ndi kafukufuku mu Zolemba pa Sports Medicine ndi Kulimbitsa Thupi.

Chifukwa chake ndidayika mwayi uliwonse womwe ndapeza. Patatha miyezi inayi, ndidamaliza kusambira ndikutseguka ngati gawo la mpikisano wapa triathlon, ndikupambana koyamba mu mpikisano wamatimu. Patatha miyezi isanu, ndidathamanga Disneyland Paris Half Marathon ndi amuna anga. Ndipo pa miyezi isanu ndi umodzi, ndidasangalala ndi 5K yovuta koma yolankhula.

Zinthu zitafika povuta, ndinkadziwa kuti ndinkachitira ineyo ndi mwana wanga zabwino. "Mimba tsopano ikuonedwa kuti ndi nthawi yabwino osati kokha yopitilira komanso kuyambitsa moyo wokangalika," malinga ndi nyuzipepala yaposachedwa yofalitsidwa mu Zolemba pa American Medical Association. Kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi asanabadwe kumachepetsa chiopsezo chotenga mimba monga matenda a shuga, preeclampsia, ndi cesarean, kumachepetsa zizindikiro za mimba monga kupweteka kwa msana, kudzimbidwa, ndi kutopa, kumalimbikitsa kunenepa, komanso kumalimbitsa mtima wanu ndi mitsempha ya magazi. Ichi ndichifukwa chake American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists amalimbikitsa azimayi omwe ali ndi pakati osavuta kuti azichita masewera olimbitsa thupi pafupifupi mphindi 20 tsiku lililonse. Kutuluka thukuta pa nthawi ya mimba kungafupikitsenso nthawi yobereka komanso kuchepetsa chiopsezo cha mavuto obereka komanso kupsinjika kwa mwana wosabadwayo, malinga ndi kafukufuku wa pa yunivesite ya Vermont. (Onetsetsani kuti mukudziwa momwe mungasinthire zolimbitsa thupi moyenera.)

Makanda nawonso amapindula; kuyeserera kwanu musanabadwe kungapatse mwana wanu mtima wathanzi, atero kafukufuku wofalitsidwa mu Chitukuko Choyambirira cha Anthu. Iwo ali okonzeka bwino kuthana ndi kupsinjika kwa mwana, kukhwima mwamakhalidwe komanso minyewa mwachangu kwambiri, ndipo amakhala ndi mafuta ochepa, malinga ndi kuwunika kochokera ku Switzerland. Sakhalanso ndi vuto la kupuma.

Zoonadi, ubwino umenewu sunali wowonekera nthawi zonse. "Zaka khumi zapitazo, pomwe ndinali ndi pakati ndi mwana wanga wamkazi, dokotala wanga wazamayi adandipangitsa kuti ndikayesere mayesero onsewa," a Paula Radcliffe omwe anali ndi mbiri yakale padziko lonse adandiuza ku Disneyland Paris Half Marathon. Radcliffe adati dokotala wake amakayikira za kuthamanga ali ndi pakati. "Pamapeto pake, adanenadi," Ndikufuna ndikupepeseni chifukwa chokuwopsani kwambiri. Mwanayo ali ndi thanzi labwino. Ndiziuza amayi anga onse omwe amachita masewera olimbitsa thupi kuti apitilize. "

Izi Sizipangitsa Kukhala Zosavuta

Nthawi zina kuthamanga panthawi yapakati kunali kovuta kwambiri. Ndinathamanga mpikisano wanga wachiwiri wothamanga kwambiri pa sabata yoyamba ya mimba (ndipo ndinawuma maulendo asanu ndi atatu). Patangodutsa milungu isanu ndimatha kuyenda ma 3 mamailosi. (Kulemekeza kwakukulu Alysia Montaño yemwe adachita nawo mpikisano ku USA pomwe anali ndi pakati.)

"Ndinamva ngati ndagwa," wothamanga wotchuka wa New Balance Sarah Brown anena za masabata oyambirirawa muzolemba za Run, Mama, Run.

Kuchuluka kwa mahomoni kungayambitse kutopa, kupuma movutikira, nseru, ndi zina zambiri. Nthawi zina ndimataya mtima, ndikumva ngati ndataya mphamvu, kulimba mtima, komanso kupirira nthawi imodzi. Ma mileage anga amlungu adatsika ndi theka ndipo milungu ingapo sindinathe kuthamanga chifukwa cha chimfine (chowopsya!), Bronchitis, chimfine, nseru yozungulira usana ndi tsiku, komanso kufooka kwamphamvu komwe kumakhalapo miyezi yanga inayi yoyamba. Koma nthawi zambiri ndimamva kukhala pansi pabedi langa kuposa momwe ndimamvera ndikamathamanga, chifukwa chake ndimangosanza, ndikumauma, ndikuyamwa mphepo kwambiri.

Mwamwayi, ndinapeza mpweya wanga ndi mphamvu mu trimester yachiwiri. Kuthamanga kunakhalanso bwenzi langa, koma kunabweretsa bwenzi watsopano-chilakolako chofuna kukhalapo nthawi zonse. Nditangomva kuti ndili ndi mphamvu zokwanira kupitilira ma 3 mamail, kukakamiza chikhodzodzo changa kunapangitsa kuti ndizosatheka popanda malo osambira. Ndinalemba mapu oyimilira panjira zanga ndikutembenukira kumalo opondera, pomwe ndimatha kulowa mchimbudzi mosavuta. Ngati palibe china, kuthamanga pa nthawi ya mimba kunandikakamiza kuti ndiyambe kupanga. (Zokhudzana: Mayi Uyu Anamaliza 60th Ironman Triathlon Ali Ndi Pakati)

Ndanena za masanzi? Zoyenera kutchulanso. Ndinayenda mumsewu ndikukakamira fungo la zinyalala ndi mkodzo wa agalu. Pa nthawi yothamanga, ndimayenera kukokera m'mbali mwa mseu pamene mantha amanditsikira-makamaka nthawi ya trimester yoyamba, koma ngakhale miyezi ingapo yopitilira.

Ngati kuponyera kwapakatikati sikowopsa mokwanira, lingalirani za wina yemwe akumangoyenda uku mukuchita. Inde, naysayers akadalipo. Mwamwayi, iwo anali osowa. Ndipo pamene munthu ine kwenikweni adadziwa anayankhula ("Ndinu zedi udayenera kuyendabe? ") Ndidasinthiratu maubwino azaumoyo, ndidanena kuti dokotala wanga adauzidwa ine kuti ndipitirizebe kuthamanga, ndipo ndinafotokozera kuti lingaliro la kufooka kwa pakati ndi lingaliro lachikale kwambiri, lingaliro loopsa loopsa. Inde, ife anali zokambirana zija. (Lingaliro loti kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi uli ndi pakati ndi koyipa kwa inu ndi nthano.)

Koma sizinali zoyipa kwambiri. Ndinkatambasula minofu m'chifuwa mwanga pomwe masewera azamasewera anga sanathenso kuthana ndi mabere anga omwe akukula mwachangu. Zimenezo zinali zowawa. Ndili ndi zovala zatsopano zogwirizira kwambiri.

Nthawi yoyipa kwambiri? Nditaganiza zosiyiratu kuthamanga. Pofika masabata 38, soseji yanga yakumapazi idakhala ngati iphulika. Ndinatulutsa zingwe mu nsapato zanga zonse ndipo ena sanamange nkomwe. Nthawi yomweyo, mwana wanga wamkazi "adagwa" pamalowo. Kupanikizika kowonjezera m'chiuno mwanga kunapangitsa kuti ndiziyenda movutikira. Dziwani kulira koyipa. Ndimamva ngati ndataya bwenzi lakale, munthu yemwe anali, kwenikweni, anali nane nthawi yayitali komanso yoonda. Kuthamanga kunali kosalekeza m’moyo wanga wosintha mofulumira. Dokotala wanga atafuula, "Kankhirani!" komaliza, moyo udayambiranso.

Kuthamanga Monga Mayi Watsopano

Ndinayambanso kuthamanga, ndi madalitso a doc wanga, patadutsa milungu isanu ndi theka nditabereka mwana wamkazi wathanzi. Pakadali pano, ndimayenda tsiku lililonse, ndikukankhira mwana wanga wamkazi woyenda naye. Palibe kugunda nthawi ino. Miyezi yonse yakubala isanakwane idandithandiza kukonzekera ntchito yanga yatsopano monga mayi.

Tsopano ndili ndi miyezi 9, mwana wanga wamkazi wandilimbikitsa kale pamitundu inayi ndipo amakonda kuyandikira mozungulira ndi manja ndi maondo ake. Sadziwa kuti akukonzekera chikwangwani chake choyamba pa Disney Princess Half Marathon, komwe ndidzayambitse 13.1-miler yanga yoyamba. Ndikukhulupirira kuti kuthamanga kwanga kumulimbikitsanso kuti azikhala wolimba pamoyo wake wonse, monganso m'masiku ake oyambirira.
