Dentro da menina, ainda dança

                              Estou em São Paulo.

                              O porquê está abaixo.

Hoje meu pai me ligou e me deu uma vontade estúpida de chorar.

Ele me disse que havia comprado passagens para vir a São Paulo assistir minha prova de corrida. Será a primeira provação de uma mudança radical que decidi fazer em 2012. Desde o dia 2 de janeiro estou de dieta, mudei meus hábitos alimentares e minha vida toda como nunca fiz. Entre as mudanças, comecei a correr. Passo após passo decidi que precisaria de uma prova para me dar um incentivo e me inscrevi. Domingo, 7h, estarei na Mizuno Night Run para encarar 4km de concreto.

Não é a prova que me deu vontade de chorar. Sei que não estarei nem entre as 1000 primeiras a chegar. Meu objetivo é cumprir o desafio  correndo o máximo possivel. Na hora que ele falou que viria me veio a cabeça aquela tarde no Colégio Marista. Estava disputando um campeonato de basquete. Sempre fiz de tudo: basquete, handball, voley, ginástica olímpica, capoeira… abraçava qualquer coisa que me aparecesse na mesma velocidade que eu abandonava depois. Como sempre fiz muitas coisas, meus pais trabalhavam e eu também não era muito de falar, poucas vezes eles conseguiram estar presente. Também nunca fiz nada de excepcional, não era atleta olímpica, federada, nada disso. Era coisa de criança na escola. Mas como qualquer criança tudo é muito grande. Jemar é Olimpíadas, Jogos da Primavera é Copa do Mundo. E um dia aconteceu. Estava na quadra, no meio do jogo, olhei para a arquibancada e meu pai estava sentado lá. Foi escondido, entrou sem eu ver. Ao ser descoberto, deu um tchauzinho feliz da vida, no melhor estilo “vai filhona!” Nesse momento o jogo acabou. Não fiz nada, sequer um ponto. Nunca joguei tão mal.

Durante os meus treinos de corrida, chamei meu pai para correr junto. Ele até se esforçou segurando suas largas passadas para tentar me acompanhar. Comprou o frequencímetro que eu mandei só pra se mostrar empolgado para mim. Nunca meu coração foi tão na boca (182 bpm). Tentei também treinar com a minha irmã mais velha. Ela, que nunca correu na vida, deu duas voltas a mais em mim. E eu, de novo, com o coração na boca (176 bpm).

E você, que está lendo o meu texto e minha terapeuta que provavelmente ouvirá essa história amanhã, dirá que eu cresci, que não sou mais a mesma menina da quadra de basquete, que minha idade mudou assim como o tamanho da minha bunda, meus cabelos brancos e minha experiência de vida, que devemos fazer as coisas por si …. Conta outra!

A gente sempre continua fazendo as coisas para os nossos pais, querendo que o boletim vá para a porta da geladeira, que eles nos achem bonita, que aprovem nosso marido, torcendo para que eles amem os netos e esperando o abraço na linha de chegada. Mesmo que se finja que não.

PS: Ao final desse texto, impossível não lembrar da minha sobrinha Manuela que aos dois anos faz acrobacias e diz: “Papai Shel, mamã, olha eu!”
