跑步 Running

Liǎng nián qián, wǒ de gōngzuò fēicháng máng, měi tiān zuò zài diànnǎo qiánmiàn shí gè xiǎoshí, hěn shǎo yùndòng. Nà shíhou wǒ jīngcháng juéde lèi, wǎnshang yě shuì bù hǎo.

两年前，我的工作非常忙，每天坐在电脑前面十个小时，很少运动。那时候我经常觉得累，晚上也睡不好。

Two years ago my job was very busy. I sat at a computer for ten hours a day and hardly exercised. I often felt tired and slept badly.

Yīshēng ràng wǒ měi tiān yùndòng bàn gè xiǎoshí. Wǒ xuǎnzé le pǎobù, yīnwèi pǎobù hěn jiǎndān, bù xūyào huā hěn duō qián.

医生让我每天运动半个小时。我选择了跑步，因为跑步很简单，不需要花很多钱。

The doctor told me to exercise for half an hour a day. I chose running, because it’s simple and doesn’t cost much.

Gāng kāishǐ de shíhou, wǒ pǎo shí fēnzhōng jiù pǎo bú dòng le. Kěshì wǒ měi tiān dōu pǎo, měi gè xīngqī dōu bǐ shàng gè xīngqī duō pǎo yìdiǎnr.

刚开始的时候，我跑十分钟就跑不动了。可是我每天都跑，每个星期都比上个星期多跑一点儿。

At first I could only run for ten minutes before I had to stop. But I ran every day, and each week I ran a little more than the week before.

Xiànzài, wǒ měi tiān zǎoshang pǎo yí gè xiǎoshí, shēntǐ bǐ yǐqián hǎoduō le, wǎnshang yě shuì de hěn hǎo. Wǒ fāxiàn, pǎobù bù zhī ràng shēntǐ biàn hǎo le, yě ràng wǒ gèng kuàilè le.

现在，我每天早上跑一个小时，身体比以前好多了，晚上也睡得很好。我发现，跑步不只让身体变好了，也让我更快乐了。

Now I run for an hour every morning. I’m much healthier than before and I sleep well. I’ve found that running hasn’t only made me fitter; it has also made me happier.
