  Ronnie Goodman是一名五十多岁的流浪汉,他曾经坐过牢、流过浪,甚至时刻与死亡做斗争。然而服刑出狱后,Ronnie不曾放弃对美好生活的追求,他开始打工、参加社区学校的美术课程,还有跑步。2014年,他成为旧金山马拉松比赛最意想不到的参赛者。
  When I’m running I feel like I’m not there, I feel like I am somewhere else.
  On my run for maybe two hours, I’m a free person.
  When people see me as a runner, they don’t look at me as a person that is homeless.
  Nothing can be worse than what I’ve been through. I feel like I’ve been to hell and back maybe four times. It was a battle, was a very long long battle.
  When I was in prison I always dream about feeling① the wind and looking at the stars, feeling the beauty of life.
  I just say, I need to learn how to make this life work.
  My running goes hand-in-hand with who I am. It makes everything feel at peace. I really don’t want too much. I just want to be healthy. I just enjoy this moment right here, everyone wants that.
  當我跑步时我觉得自己不在这里,我觉得我在其他地方。
  在这奔跑的两个小时里,我是一个自由的人。当人们看到我时,他们看到一个奔跑者,他们不会把我看作一个没有家的流浪汉。
  没有什么可以比我经历过的更糟,我曾四次与死亡擦肩而过。那是一场战斗,一场非常持久的战斗。
  当我在监狱时,我总是梦想可以感受吹过的微风,仰望星空,感受人生的美丽。
  我对自己说,我要学会不放弃自己的人生。
  跑步让我再次认识到我自己,它让我感受到一种平静。我不需要太多,我只希望健康,并且享受这一时刻,像每一个奔跑者一样。
