Man Runs a Long Way At Home

Hi! Excuse me, I was just exercising. Exercise is really good for you.
Running is one type of exercise. It helps you stay healthy.

Today, I'm going to talk about a man.

This man runs a lot. His name is Sam, and he is 27 years old.

He lives in England. Sam wanted to run in a long race in England.

Sam 本來要在英國賽跑。He ran a lot to prepare for that race. But the race was
canceled. It was canceled because of the coronavirus.
因為新冠病毒，比賽被取消了。 The coronavirus canceled many events around the
world.

But the virus didn't stop Sam. Sam still wanted to run.

So, he did something interesting. He ran on his balcony.
他還是想跑，所以他在陽台上跑! That's right! He ran a big race on his small
balcony.

Sam ran back and forth on his balcony 5,000 times! 來回跑了5,000次! That
equals a total of 21 kilometers. 總共21公里。That's far!

Let's see . . . the Songshan-Xindian MRT Line is 19 kilometers.
松山新店捷運線也才19公里。

So, Sam ran more than that on his balcony. Wow! I think he was tired after
that.

We can be like Sam, too.

Maybe you don't like to run.

That's OK. You can do other exercises.

你如果不喜歡跑步你可以做別的運動。You can go swimming or go cycling. Or you
can go hiking.
Sam can also teach us something else.

The virus canceled his big race. But he didn't let that stop him. He found a
way to do what he loved. 他還是找方法做他想做的事。

That is a good lesson to learn. If something bad happens, you can keep
trying. If you keep trying, you can be successful.

Remember to exercise and stay healthy!
