越野跑

字幕原文

I used to run on a treadmill, staring at a wall, 我以前总是在跑步机上跑，两眼盯着一面墙，

counting down the minutes until I could stop. 一分一秒地数着倒计时，就盼着赶紧结束。

Then someone took me trail running in the hills, and everything changed. 后来有人带我去山里越野跑，一切都变了。

It's harder, honestly. 说实话，其实越野跑更费劲。

There are roots to trip on, 路上随时有树根绊脚，

hills that burn your legs, and mud everywhere. 爬陡坡累得双腿发酸，到处还都是泥泞。

I fell twice on my first run. 头一次跑我就摔了两次跤。

But instead of watching a clock, I was watching the trees, 但我不再死盯着时间了，我看到的是树木，

the light through the leaves, a stream I had to jump across. 是透过树叶洒下的阳光，是必须迈过去的小溪。

I forgot I was even exercising. 我甚至都忘了自己其实是在锻炼。

That's the difference. 差别就在这儿。

On the treadmill, running was something to get through. 在跑步机上，跑步是必须硬熬过去的任务；

On the trail, running became somewhere to be. 而在山野里，跑步本身就成了一种身心融入的体验。

Now I don't force myself to go. 现在我根本不用逼自己去跑。

I actually look forward to it, mud and scraped knees and all. 我反倒特别期待，就算弄得满身泥、磕破膝盖也乐在其中。
