"Tili panjinga zamapiri ku Colorado patchuthi," adatero. "Zikhala zosangalatsa; tizipita mosavuta," adatero. Pansi pamtima, ndinkadziwa kuti sindingawakhulupirire—ndipo kunena kuti “iwo” ndikutanthauza banja langa. Ndikapezeka, ndinali kulondola.

Mofulumira sabata yatha: Nkhope yanga, phewa langa, ndi mawondo anga adakumba m'fumbi lamanja lolimba, lamanzere. Bicycle yanga ndi mapazi awiri kumanja kwanga, ndipo palidi dothi ndi ... yup, magazi ... mkamwa mwanga. Njirayi, NPR, imatchulidwa kuti ndi yocheperako chifukwa cha chikhalidwe chake chokomera atolankhani komanso zambiri chifukwa palibe "Palibe Pedaling Yofunika." Kutanthauzira: kutsetsereka, kuthamanga, komanso kudzaza kulumpha patebulo ndi ma hairpin kutembenuka ndikutsata adrenaline junkie. (Ndipo kenako pali mayi uyu yemwe adakwera njinga phiri la Kilimanjaro. # Zolinga.)

Ndikanakonda ndikanati sindimayembekezera kufafaniza koma, TBH, palibe kuchuluka kwa malingaliro abwino kapena "muli ndi izi!" zodzitsimikizira zinali kunditeteza tsiku limenelo.

Banja langa ndi lachangu kwambiri. Koma koposa kukhala mawonekedwe a #FitFam, iwo (osandiphatikiza) ali ngati kagulu kakang'ono ka biker. Makolo anga akhala okonda kupalasa njinga zapamsewu kwa zaka zingapo tsopano, ndipo amayi anga posachedwapa "anamaliza maphunziro" pa kosi ya njanji imodzi yokwera njinga zamapiri. Mlongo wanga ndi wochita mpikisano wothamanga wokhala ku Boulder ndi bwenzi lake, yemwenso ndi triathlete, a. akatswiri imodzi, ndipo onse amaphunzitsa kukwera ndi kutsika mapiri ngati kulibe vuto. Mchimwene wanga wazaka 18-yemwe ali ndi mbiri yakuyenda panjinga zadothi ndi snowboarding, ndipo yemwe posachedwapa anayamba kuyendetsa njinga zamapiri - sadziwa bwino mawu oti "mantha." Ndiye pali ine: Manhattanite yemwe adadumphira panjinga mwina kanayi m'chaka chatha-atatu omwe anali Citi Bike kutuluka, kumene chiwongolero chokha chimene ndinachita chinali kuzungulira cabs, ndipo liwiro langa lapamwamba linagunda 5 mph. (Osandimvetsa, njinga yamtundu uliwonse ndiyabwino kwambiri.)

Ndinkadziwa kuti sindili woyenera kuchita maphunziro okwera njinga zamapiri "weniweni" (makamaka osati ndi ogwira nawo ntchito). Ndinali hella wamanjenje, koma sizimandiletsa: 1) Ndinkafuna kukhala masewera abwino, 2) Nthawi zonse ndimakhala pansi kuti ndiyesere china chatsopano komanso chovuta-makamaka pankhani yakulimbitsa thupi ndi 3) chowiringula chilichonse kumva zoipa ndi kudetsedwa? Ndiwerengereni. Chifukwa chake ndidamanga chisoti, ndikudumphira panjinga yakuda yobwereketsa yamapiri (kotero New York), ndipo adapanga nthabwala zambiri za City Slicker. (Bwerani, kuzemba mitengo kudzakhala kotero zosavuta kuposa kuzembera alendo.)

Maluso anga okwera njinga osafunikira kulikonse adandiyendetsa m'mawa osapweteka; Ndidayenda njira yobiriwira (werengani: newb), kukwera kotopetsa kotchedwa Lupine, ndikupinduka pang'ono ku Larry's, komwe ndidaganiza kuti "Hei, njinga zamapiri ndizabwino kwambiri. Ndikuganiza kuti ndikupeza sungani izi." Ngakhale kutalika (pafupifupi 7K mapazi) sikunandiyimitse: Ndinatembenuza mpweya wochepa, kupuma movutikira kukhala ngati kusinkhasinkha kosuntha. Kusunga mpweya wanga pang'onopang'ono komanso mosasunthika kunandithandiza kukhazika mtima pansi zala zanga zomwe ndikusangalala nazo ndikupangitsa kuti zikwapu zanga zikhale zokhazikika komanso ngakhale-zilibe kanthu kuti ndikupita kudera lotani.

Kenako banja langa linaganiza zopita ku NPR kupita mtawuni kukadya chakudya chamasana. Mwadzidzidzi, bulangeti langa lachitetezo chopumira-chopondaponda silinatanthauze kalikonse. Njirayi inali yosokonekera, yendetsani, gwirani mpweya wanu, tulukani m'chishalocho, tulukani pa chishalocho, phulani zambiri, gwedezani, tseka maso anu, ndikuyembekeza zabwino.

Ndipo ndi momwe ndidathera nkhope yanga pansi ndi dothi. Ndidadumpha ndi "ow," ndipo "ndili bwino," ndipo ndimadziwa kuti palibe chomwe chidalakwika (zikomo ubwino). Koma milomo yanga inkamva kunenepa chifukwa chakukhudzidwa, mawondo anga ankatulutsa ululu, phewa langa lidaluma, ndipo ndimamva litsiro likugwa pankhope yanga pamene ndimasuntha pakamwa panga kuti ndiyankhule. Ndinalumphira m'mbuyo ndikumaliza gawolo lanjirayo (ngakhale ndinali ndi mantha kwa mphindi zisanu zotsatira), ndikuwongolera kuti ndipite "kosavuta" kutsika phiri lonselo.

Pakati pamavuto aliwonse olimbitsa thupi (komanso, zovuta za moyo wamba), pamakhala nthawi zina pomwe mutha kusewera mosamala, kapena kudzikankhira kunja kwa malo anu abwino. Mukudziwa, ngati mutapatsidwa mwayi wokankhira nthawi zonse kapena plyo push-ups, kuthamanga ndi gulu lothamanga la mphindi 10 kapena gulu lothamanga la mphindi 9:30, kapena kukwera njira yotsetsereka. pamwamba pa phiri kapena kutenga chigwa chophwatalala. Moyo nthawi zonse umakupatsirani mwayi woti mutengepo njira yosavuta. Koma ndi kangati komwe mumachoka pamsewu wotetezeka mukumva ngati bwana wathunthu? Yankho: ayi. Ndi liti nthawi yomaliza yomwe mudachoka ndikuyesa luso latsopano (komanso lovuta) ndipo simunamve ngati munthu wabwinoko kwa iwo? Palibe. Kupita patsogolo kumabwera chifukwa chokana malire anu - ndipo sindinalole kuti thupi lovulala (ndi ego) lindilepheretse kugwiritsa ntchito bwino njinga zamapiri 101. (Onaninso maphunziro ena asanu okwerera njinga zamapiri omwe mumaphunzira ngati njinga yoyambira.)

Tinali ndi maola anayi otsala ndi njinga yobwereka, ndipo ine ndithudi monga gehena sindikanati ndipeze mwayi wachiwiri pa kumbuyo uku ku Manhattan. Chifukwa chake ndidamenya chothandizira bulu wamkulu pabondo langa lamagazi, ndidapanga bandeji ya DIY kuti isayale, ndikuyamba ulendo wopita kuphiri. Ndinafufuza mayendedwe atsopano, ndinapezanso umwini pa omwe adandipeza bwino nthawi yoyamba, ndipo pafupifupi adafafaniziranso kamodzi kapena kawiri. Pamapeto pa tsikulo, ndinali womaliza kuchokera pagulu lanjinga yamoto yanjinga yamoto yomwe inali paphiri. Ndikadakhala kuti ndidafafaniza zovuta kwambiri, koma ndidagwiranso ntchito yovuta kwambiri - ndipo ndi mutu womwe udapangitsa kuti kupweteka konseko kukhale kopindulitsa.

Chifukwa chake pitirizani kuchita zomwe zimakuwopani. Mutha kuyamwa poyamba, ndipo kukhala woyamba pa chilichonse ndi kovuta AF. Koma kuthamangira kuphunzira luso latsopano (komanso kuyimitsa nthawi yayikulu) kumakhala kosangalatsa kuposa kusayesa nkomwe. Pang'ono ndi pang'ono, mumapeza nkhani yabwino-ndikuphunzira momwe mungagwiritsire ntchito bandeji la ACE.
