Online, I kept seeing articles about the benefits of exercise; if it were an over-the-counter drug, one doctor said, everyone would buy it. And then there was an app: Couch25K (that's "couch to 5K"), a program that led you from Square 1 to running five kilometers in just eight wee. In my supposedly busy life, joining a gym had always seemed like an insurmountable hurdle. But I can always download an app.

在网上，我总是看到有关运动好处的文章；一位医生说，如果这是非处方药，每个人都会去买着吃的。再之后，Couch25K应用出现（即"5公里跑"），帮助初学者在8周的时间内从零起点跑完5公里。在我本该忙碌的生活中，去健身房健身似乎是一个无法逾越的障碍，但下载应用的时间还是有的。

Then I met up with one of my oldest friends for breakfast. "I've started running," she said, and maybe that, coming from a lifelong habit of sisterly competition, is what pushed me over the edge and got me actually to start a couple of weeks later.

后来，早餐时我遇到了一位老朋友。"我开始跑步了，"她说道，也许是因为长久以来姐妹竞争的习惯，我也受到了影响，并于几周后开始跑了起来。

And the beauty of running is that it's solitary - nobody has to know how long you've been doing it. Winded? For all that passerby knows, you've already run five miles. Or so you tell yourself.

跑步的美妙之处在于它是孤独的--没人知道你跑了多久。气喘吁吁？所有的路人都知道，你已经跑了5公里啦。或者，你就是这么心理暗示自己的。
