摘录：用看得见的方式证明你跑步的成就，这可以持续激发你对跑步(并获得更多战绩)的热情。买一台酷炫的奖牌挂架，将你的奖牌整齐有序地挂好，为你的墙壁增添一些视觉亮点吧!
Like all relationships, a love affair with running has its ups and down. One day you can’t imagine your life without running, and the next you may be cursing at yourself (while running, of course) for getting started with this crazy sport.
If you have moments when your love for running is fading (and who doesn’t?), here are some ways to re-ignite the spark:
每一段感情都会有起起落落，同样你对跑步的爱也不例外。今天你还觉得你的生活不能没有跑步，明天可能又会骂自己(当然边跑边骂)当初怎么会开始这么疯狂的运动。
假如你觉得你对跑步的热爱逐渐冷却(谁不会这样呢?)，以下几个方法能让你对跑步爱火重燃：
1. Talk to other runners.
Whether you're discussing your past glory days or future running goals, talking about running with other runners can help remind you of why you feel in love with it in the first place.
和志同道合的跑步爱好者交流
无论是谈论曾经的辉煌还是畅想未来的目标，和志同道合的跑步爱好者交流心得，这可以提醒你当初为什么会爱上跑步。
2. Buy yourself some new running gear.
Treat yourself to some new running gear, such as a new shirt or running socks, as a reward for your hard work. The treat will make you feel energized, and reinforce your commitment to your training. After all, who doesn’t look forward to wearing that new, cool-looking running gear on a long run? If you don’t need any new gear, a massage or pedicure is always a nice reward.
为自己添置跑步新装备
买点新的跑步“神器”犒劳一下自己——一件新运动衫或一双运动袜——作为你努力的奖赏。奖励能让你活力满格，精神振奋，坚定你继续锻炼的决心。毕竟人靠衣装嘛!谁不想身着拉风的新装备长跑呢!如果不需要添置新装备，那么按摩或足疗永远是不错的奖励哦。
3. Display your bling.
展示你的战绩
Having visual reminders of your running accomplishments can help keep you motivated to get out there again (and collect more bling). Get one of those cool medal hanging racks to keep your race medals organized and add some visual interest to one of your walls.
用看得见的方式证明你跑步的成就，这可以持续激发你对跑步(并获得更多战绩)的热情。买一台酷炫的奖牌挂架，将你的奖牌整齐有序地挂好，为你的墙壁增添一些视觉亮点吧!
4. Mentor a new runner.
发展新的跑步爱好者
One way to show yourself how far you’ve come is to share your running knowledge and experience with others. If you have a family member or friend who's expressed an interest in running, ask her if she'd like to join you for a run (at her pace), needs help shopping for running shoes and gear, or maybe even wants to train for a race together. Not only will helping a new runner allow you to see and celebrate your progress, but you’ll also get a motivation boost.
与他人分享你的运动知识与经历，这也是一种展示跑步成果的方法。如果有家人或朋友同你表示跑步的兴趣，不妨问问她是否愿意以她习惯的速度和你一起跑步，是否需要你帮她选购跑鞋和其他装备，以及是否想和你一起为参赛集训。帮助一个跑步新手不仅能让你们共同见证和庆祝你的进步，更能让你动力大爆发。
5. Volunteer at a race.
做赛场志愿者
Seeing a race through the eyes of a volunteer can change your perspective about racing and get you motivated. Watching runners cry or hug their friends and family members after they finish a race can do wonders for your motivation. To volunteer at a race, look for the volunteer opportunities section on the website or contact the race director through the race website.
作为志愿者亲临现场观看比赛会转变你对竞技的看法，并能点燃你的热情。运动员比赛后与家人朋友紧紧拥抱、热泪盈眶的场面对增强跑步动力具有神奇的作用。想做赛场志愿者的话，可以上网搜索志愿者招聘板块或者在竞赛网站上联系相应的赛事总监进行商洽。
6. Get inspired with quotes about running.
从有关跑步的文字中得到启发
Reading other people’s words about running can get you motivated to get back out there, or take on a new running challenge.
阅读他人有关跑步的激扬文字能鼓舞你重新踏上跑步的征程，或者接受新的挑战。
7. Do a destination race.
来一场有“目的地”的竞赛
If you typically run races in your local area, try branching out and traveling to a destination race. Pick a location that you've been wanting to visit and search on web sites like Active.com or MarathonGuide.com to look for races. If you can convince some friends or family members to join you, you can turn it into a mini-vacation getaway.
如果你经常在你所在地区参加竞赛，试着拓宽一下范围，借由比赛的契机顺便去旅行吧!选一个你一直想去的地方，在Active.com 或者MarathonGuide.com网站上查查那里什么时候举办比赛。如果能说动亲朋好友一起去的话，还可以把它变成一次小型外出度假呢!
8. Spectate at a race.
观看比赛
Whenever I’m spectating at a race, I inevitably get a little jealous of the runners who are out there. I’ve talked to other runners who say the same thing. There’s something about cheering for the runners and remembering what it felt like to hear people supporting you that just makes you want to get out there again.
每当观看比赛时，我或多或少地会羡慕那些参赛者。我曾和有类似心境的跑步者谈到过这一点。为运动员加油鼓劲，会让你回忆起自己被鼓励时激情澎湃的感觉，那就是让你重新开始跑步的动力源泉。
