Ke holo nei kēia Wahine i kahi Marathon ma kēlā me kēia ʻāina
Anter
ʻIke ʻoe i ka mea e hoʻohiki ai ka mea holo i nā marathon i loko o nā minuke o ke keʻa ʻana i ka laina hoʻopau ... e ʻike hou iā lākou iho e kau inoa hou ke lohe lākou e pili ana i kahi heihei maikaʻi i loko, e ʻōlelo, Paris? (He ʻepekema maoli kēia: poina i kou lolo ka ʻeha o kāu marathon mua.) ʻO Sandra Cotuna kekahi o kēlā mau kukini, ʻo ia wale nō ka mea i hoʻowalewale ʻia me ka makemake e holo ma nā ʻāina āpau o ka Honua.
ʻO Cotuna, 37, he wīwī petite o kahi mea kālailai hana e noho ana ma Brooklyn, NY, a ua hānau ʻia ma Romania. "Ua ulu au ma lalo o ka Communism, alakaʻi alakaʻi Communist," wahi āna. "Ua helu ʻia nā mea a pau: ka wai, ka ikehu, ka TV." ʻO nā mea koʻikoʻi o ke ola, akā, ua nui. "I ka manawa like, ua puni au i kahi ʻohana kupaianaha a aloha hoʻi i hānai maoli i ka hauʻoli a me ke aloha, ka ʻoluʻolu a me ke aloha, a me ka hoihoi i ka honua."
He mea hauʻoli kona wā ʻōpio-ua loaʻa iā ia ka hoʻonaʻauao a ua huakaʻi ʻo ia i ka honua ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū-a ʻo ia mau makana āpau i hiki iā ia ke neʻe i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kona mau makahiki iwakālua a ʻimi i kahi ola ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. Ua kanu kona mau mākua i ka pono o ke aloha, a ua ʻimi ʻo ia e loaʻa nā ala e hoʻi ai i kāna makemake nui: ka naʻau.
"Ua hoʻoholo wau e hana i ka hoʻonaʻauao koʻu mea nui. Ua makemake au e kūkulu i nā kula a i ʻole e hana i kekahi mea nui no nā keiki, no ka mea, ʻike wau aia kahi pilikia honua no ka hoʻonaʻauao," wahi a Cotuna. "Ua noiʻi au i nā ʻano waiwai ʻole like ʻole a ua loaʻa iaʻu ʻo buildOn," he hui e kūkulu i nā kula ma nā ʻāina ulu a holo i nā papahana ma hope o ke kula ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o buildOn, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻomaka i ka ʻohi kālā. Ua maʻalahi ka pehea: "I ka nānā ʻana i koʻu wā kamaliʻi, maʻa mau wau ma waho e pāʻani ana a me ka holo ʻana. Ua hoʻomaka wau e holo i kahi lōʻihi lōʻihi, a [ua aʻo wau] no kaʻu marathon mua i ka makahiki i hala, ʻo ka marathon ʻo New York City. ," ia nei. "Ua hoʻoholo wau e hoʻohui i koʻu makemake no ka holo ʻana me koʻu makemake e hoʻihoʻi," wahi āna. "A ua noʻonoʻo wale wau i kēia manaʻo-hiki iaʻu ke holo e kūkulu i nā kula. No ke aha e holo ʻole ai a puni ka honua e ʻohi kālā, a laila kūkulu i nā kula?"
Ua lilo paha kona ʻano lā i mea e huki ai i nā makana nui, e like me kāna hui ʻo AIG. ʻO ka hui inikua multinational papalua-ua hoʻohālikelike i nā makana a kona mau hoa hana e buildOn, a i loko o hoʻokahi makahiki ua hoʻonui ʻo ia i ke kālā e wehe i kahi kula ma Nepal.
Ma hea e hele ai mai laila? Inā like ʻoe iā Cotuna, makemake ʻoe i nā mea hou aku. "ʻO ka makahiki mua, ua hāpai au i nā mea i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka mea aʻu i manaʻo ai, a ua hāʻawi ʻia iaʻu i ka hilinaʻi nui e hoʻāʻo no ka mea hou aku a kaomi no ka nui a me ka noʻonoʻo i nā manaʻo hou aʻe." He mau heihei ʻē aʻe, he hapa marathon paha, he triathlon paha-a pehea e holo ai i hoʻokahi marathon piha ma kēlā me kēia ʻāina?
A no laila ua paʻa ʻia kahi hoʻolālā a ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā lāhui i nā makahiki he nui. Ua holo ʻo Cotuna i ka marathon ʻo Iceland i Kepakemapa, ʻo Chicago i ʻOkakopa, a ʻo New York City (hou) i Nowemapa; Ma hope o kēlā, aia ka marathon ma Torres del Paine National Park ma Chile i Kepakemapa 2016, hoʻokahi ma ka Pa Nui o Kina i Mei 2017, ka marathon Antarctica i 2018, ka marathon Victoria Falls (ma o Zimbabwe a me Zambia) i 2019, a me ka ʻO ka marathon Great Ocean Road ma Australia i ka makahiki 2020. (ʻAe, ʻaʻole ia e helu ana i nā mea āna e hana nei no ka leʻaleʻa wale nō.) He huakaʻi hoʻihoʻi hope ʻo ia hoʻi, aia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano hoʻomaʻamaʻa nonstop. "ʻAʻole maʻalahi ia, ʻoiai inā loaʻa iaʻu kahi hana manawa piha. Hiki ke luhi loa i nā wahi, a loaʻa hoʻi au i ka ʻeha." I ka manawa a mākou i kamaʻilio ai, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i holo i loko o ʻekolu pule ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o ke alo i lalo i haʻalele iā ia. Kākau ʻo ia i nā manawa leʻaleʻa a leʻaleʻa ʻole ma kāna Instagram, Twitter, a me kāna blog pilikino.
"Nui kaʻu mau kiʻi o koʻu ʻauʻau ʻana i ka hau. ʻIke wau he kōkua nui lākou," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia no kāna hana ma hope o ka heihei. "He paʻakikī e kiʻi i nā hōʻailona a kou kino e haʻi aku nei iā ʻoe, akā ʻoi aku koʻu maikaʻi ma ia mea. Hoʻāʻo wau e akahele loa a hoʻolohe i koʻu kino a ʻaʻole e hoʻokū iā ia ke haʻi mai iaʻu, 'Mai!'" ( E ʻike anei ʻoe i kēia mau hōʻailona Tell-Tale e hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui ana ʻoe?)
He mea maʻalahi ka hoʻonanea ʻana i ka ʻano a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o Cotuna, a ua maʻalahi ʻo ia inā makemake ʻoe e hāʻawi i kāna hana. "E hele i kaʻu blog, a hahai i kaʻu huakaʻi. Mai laila mai, aia nā pihi hāʻawi ma nā wahi āpau," ʻakaʻaka ʻo ia. Ke hana pū nei ʻo ia i ka laina lole haʻuki me ka mea hoʻolālā (a me ka hoa aloha) ʻo Susana Monaco, nā mea i loaʻa mai kahi e pōmaikaʻi ai iā buildOn, a me ke kākau ʻana i puke no nā keiki e pili ana i ka chess. ʻAe, e hele pū ke kālā puke e buildOn. Maliʻa, e ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi manawa e hiamoe ai i kekahi mau makahiki e hiki mai ana.
I kēia manawa, hauʻoli nui ʻo ia i kāna kūleʻa i kēia manawa, a no nā lāhui he nui e hiki mai ana. "Ua hauʻoli nui wau iā lākou a pau, i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, akā hauʻoli nui wau i ka mea ma Antarctica. A ʻo ka Wall Nui o Kina ma 2017!" E ho'āʻo e hoʻomau (a aʻo hou e pili ana i ke ʻano e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kōkua) ma aneʻi. (Inspired? E nānā i ka 10 Marathon maikaʻi loa e huakaʻi i ka honua.)
