跑步者以街道为画布，用他的路线绘制出艺术设计

Jogging is a truly healthy activity for both physical and mental health; we all know this already. For some people, it comes naturally. For others, it’s either a struggle not worth contemplating or just a little, well, boring.

慢跑是一项真正有益于身心健康的运动;我们都已经知道了。对有些人来说，这是自然而然的。对另一些人来说，这要么是一场不值得思考的斗争，要么就是有点无聊。

Without a jogging buddy or any element of competition, how do you spice up your runs? Well, there are now plenty of apps that you can download, that keep track of things like speed, distance, heart rate, calories burned and even challenges against other users to keep you motivated.

没有一个慢跑伙伴或任何竞争的元素，你如何为你的跑步增添情趣?现在有很多应用程序可以下载，它们可以记录速度、距离、心率、燃烧的卡路里，甚至是挑战其他用户来保持你的动力。

San Franciscan Lenny Maughan doesn’t have any problems with motivation though, he loves to run! He uses the social fitness app Strava to create amazing pieces of ‘running art;’ carefully planning his route beforehand to run in the pattern of a certain image with the streets of San Fran as his canvas.

旧金山人伦尼 Maughan在动力方面没有任何问题，但是他喜欢跑步!他使用社交健身应用Strava创作了一些令人惊叹的“跑步艺术”作品;他事先仔细规划好路线，以旧金山的街道为画布，按照特定的图像模式跑步。

Lenny sometimes has to run incredible distances – his ‘Frida Kahlo’ masterpiece covered 29 miles and took almost 6 hours to complete – all the while being careful not to make any mistakes. A single wrong turn can ruin the whole piece!

伦尼有时不得不跑令人难以置信的距离——他的杰作《弗里达·卡罗》走了29英里，花了近6个小时才完成——同时他一直小心翼翼地避免犯任何错误。一个错误的转弯就能毁掉整幅画!

“You can’t see the lines drawn until after you finish your run,” Lenny told SFGATE. “So it’s such a joyful feeling when you put in all of that work and you finally finish and get to see what you envisioned at the end.”

伦尼在接受SFGATE采访时表示:“在你跑完全程之前，你是看不到这些线的。所以当你把所有的工作都投入进去，最终完成任务，看到自己的设想时，会有一种非常快乐的感觉。”

“San Francisco is my canvas. I use the streets as a framework for what I want to do, find shapes, and make it work. Kind of like how little kids look up at the clouds.”

“旧金山是我的画布。我用街道作为我想做的事情的框架，找到形状，并使它工作。有点像小孩子仰望天空的样子。”

Lenny has been doing his running art for over 3 years now and has created 30 unique designs. Far from the stereotypical image of an artist sitting patiently at an easel for days on end, painstakingly applying the gentlest of brush strokes, this very modern type of art is as exhausting physically as it is mentally!

伦尼从事跑步艺术已有3年多的时间，并创造了30个独特的设计。与艺术家连续数日耐心地坐在画架前，煞费苦心地用最柔和的笔触作画的老套形象截然不同，这是一种身体和精神上非常现代的艺术形式。
