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 feeling①the 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.

当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。
