The first time I ran, like really ran, was during middle school gym class. It took me 11 minutes and 47 seconds to finish a mile. I've been running ever since.

我第一次跑步，那种真正的跑步，是在中学体育课的时候。我花了11分47秒跑完了1英里。自那以后，我一直在跑步。

Running is the kind of thing where you put in the time and expect to see results, and let me be the first to tell you: It is supremely discouraging when you don't. It's discouraging when you run a five-mile race with your entire family and come in a solid 15 minutes behind everyone else, and it's discouraging when that time is no faster or slower than your five-mile time five years ago.

跑步是一种你会投入时间并期待成效的运动。让我做第一个告诉你这个的人：你没有做到的时候，你会刚到非常沮丧。当你和所有家人一起来一场5英里赛跑却落后了每个人15分钟的时候，是十分让人沮丧的；当你跑完5英里的时间并没有比5年前更快或更慢的时候，也是十分让人沮丧的。

And yet, my alarm is already set for 6 a.m. tomorrow, even though it's probably going to be rainy and definitely going to be cold and even though most of the time, I really hate running.

但是，我已经把明天的闹钟设置为早晨6点钟了，哪怕可能会下雨且一定会变冷；哪怕大多数时间，我真的讨厌跑步。
