Kun san yadda mai tsere zai rantse tseren gudun fanfalaki a cikin mintuna kaɗan da tsallaka layin ƙarshe ... kawai don ganin sun sake yin rajista lokacin da suka ji labarin tseren sanyi a ciki, in ji, Paris? (Gaskiyar kimiyya ce: Kwakwalwarku ta manta da zafin Marathon naku na Farko.) Sandra Cotuna tana ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan masu tseren, sai dai da gangan aka ruɗe ta da yin gudu a kowace nahiya a Duniya.

Cotuna, mai shekaru 37, ƙaramar hikima ce ta ƙwararren manazarci wanda ke zaune a Brooklyn, NY, kuma an haife shi a Romania. "Na girma a karkashin tsarin gurguzu, jagororin gurguzu na zalunci," in ji ta. "An raba komai: ruwa, makamashi, TV." Muhimman abubuwa a rayuwa, suna da yawa. "A lokaci guda, dangi mai ban mamaki da ƙauna sun kewaye ni da gaske waɗanda ke raya farin ciki da ƙauna, alheri da tausayi, da son duniya."

Kuruciyarta abin farin ciki ne - ta sami ilimi har ma ta yi balaguro a duniya a matsayin ƙwararren ƙwararren ƙwanƙwasa - kuma duk waɗannan kyaututtukan sun ba ta damar ƙaura zuwa Amurka a cikin shekarunta na 20 kuma ta sami rayuwa mai inganci. Iyayenta sun cusa larurar sadaka, kuma ta nemi hanyar nemo abin da za ta mayar da babbar sha'awar ta: ilimi.

"Na yanke shawarar ba ilimi fifiko. Ina so in gina makarantu ko kuma in yi wani babban abu ga yara, saboda na san akwai matsalar ilimi a duniya," in ji Cotuna. "Na yi bincike akan ƙungiyoyin sa-kai daban-daban kuma na sami BuildOn," wata ƙungiya tana gina makarantu a cikin ƙasashe masu tasowa kuma tana gudanar da shirye-shiryen bayan makaranta a nan Amurka.

Bayan ta kai ga ginaOn, ta tashi don fara tara kuɗi. Yadda ya kasance mai sauƙi: "Idan muka waiwaya baya ga kuruciyata, koyaushe na kasance a waje ina wasa da gudu. Na fara gudu mai nisa, kuma na [horo] a tseren marathon na farko a bara, tseren marathon na birnin New York. Ina son shi kawai. , "in ji ta. "Na yanke shawarar hada sha'awar gudu da sha'awar mayarwa," in ji ta. "Kuma kawai na fito da wannan ra'ayin-zan iya gudu don gina makarantu. Me zai hana a gudu a duniya don tara kuɗi, sannan na gina makarantu?"

Halin mutuntakarsa mai yuwuwa ya taka rawa a cikin hanzarin da ta sami damar shiga manyan gudummawa, kamar yadda kamfanin ta, AIG. Kamfanin inshora na ƙasashe da yawa biyu-Ta dace da kyaututtukan abokan aikinta don ginawa, kuma a cikin shekara guda ta sami isasshen kuɗi don buɗe makaranta a Nepal.

Ina zuwa daga can? Idan kuna kamar Cotuna, kuna son ƙarin-mafi-mafi. "Shekara ta farko, na ɗaga abubuwa da yawa fiye da yadda nake tsammani, kuma hakan ya ba ni kwarin gwiwa don in gwada ƙari da ingiza ƙari kuma in yi ƙarin tunani." Akwai wasu tsere, watakila rabin marathon, watakila triathlon-ko yaya game da gudanar da cikakken gudun fanfalaki a kowace nahiya?

Don haka aka tsara wani tsari kuma aka shirya tseren shekaru masu yawa. Cotuna ya yi tseren gudun fanfalaki na Iceland a watan Satumba, Chicago a watan Oktoba, da Birnin New York (kuma) a watan Nuwamba; Bayan haka, akwai marathon a Torres del Paine National Park a Chile a watan Satumbar 2016, daya a Babbar Bango na China a watan Mayu 2017, Marathon Antarctica a 2018, Victoria Falls marathon (ta Zimbabwe da Zambia) a 2019, da Babbar gudun fanfalaki na babbar hanya a Ostiraliya a 2020. (Oh, kuma wannan ba ya ƙidaya waɗanda take yi kawai don nishaɗi.) Hanya ce ta baya-baya wacce ke nufin tana, da gaske, cikin yanayin horo mara tsayawa. "Ba abu ne mai sauki ba, musamman idan ina da aiki na cikakken lokaci. Yana iya zama da gajiya sosai a wurare, ni ma na ji rauni." A lokacin da muke magana, ba ta yi tsere cikin makwanni uku ba bayan mummunan faduwar gaban da ya sa ta rikice. Tana yin rikodin abubuwan nishaɗi da abubuwan ban sha'awa a shafinta na Instagram, Twitter, da shafin yanar gizon ta.

"Ina da hotuna da yawa na shan wanka kankara. Ina ganin suna da matukar taimako," in ji ta game da al'amuran bayan tseren. "Yana da wuya ka sami alamun da jikinka ke gaya maka, amma na kara samun sauki. Ina ƙoƙarin yin hankali sosai da sauraron jikina kuma kada in tura shi lokacin da ya ce mini, 'Kada!" Za ku iya gane waɗannan Alamomin Tatsuniyoyi da kuke yawan motsa jiki?)

Abu ne mai sauƙi a ji daɗin ɗabi'ar Cotuna da ƙoƙarinsa, kuma tana sauƙaƙa idan kuna son ba da gudummawa ga aikinta. "Tafi blog ɗina, kuma ku bi tafiyata. Daga can, akwai maɓallan taimako a ko'ina," ta yi dariya. Hakanan tana aiki akan layin kayan wasanni tare da mai ƙira (da aboki) Susana Monaco, duk abin da aka samu daga ciki zai amfana ginaOn, da kuma rubuta littafi ga yara game da dara. Ee, kuɗin littafin zai ci gaba kuma. Mai yiwuwa, za ta sami wani lokacin barci a cikin 'yan shekarun nan ma.

"Na yi matukar farin ciki game da su duka, a gaskiya, amma ina matukar farin ciki game da wanda ke Antarctica. Da kuma Babbar Ganuwar Sin a 2017!" Yi ƙoƙarin ci gaba (da ƙarin koyo game da yadda zaku iya taimakawa) anan. (An yi wahayi zuwa? Duba mafi kyawun Marathon 10 don Zaga Duniya.)
