中文部分

我开始每天都跑步，是成为作家之后的事。作为一个写作者，通常需要一天伏案工作若干小时，而我发现，如果缺乏锻炼，你很快会增加体重、身材走样。那是22年前的事了。同时，我也借这个机会戒了烟。你知道，自从我成为了作家，我的身体迅即变得健康起来。你可以说我是个例。但正因如此，我现在的体重仍然保持和当初一样。

在成为作家之前，我在东京市中心经营一家爵士酒吧。那项工作意味着，我通常在乌烟瘴气的环境里工作到很晚。当我可以通过写作来维持生活的时候，我是相当兴奋的，于是我当即决定，“我要坚决过一种健康的生活。”早上5点起床，天天如此，先处理一些工作的事情，然后就去跑步。这样常常使我精神振奋。

I began running on an everyday basis afterI became a writer. As being a writer requires sitting at a desk for hours aday, without getting some exercise you'd quickly get out of shape and gainweight, I figured. That was 22 years ago. I also took it as a chance to quitsmoking. You see, I became rapidly healthier since the time I became a writer.You may call it rather a rare case. But because of that, I weigh now just as much as I weighed back then.

Before I became a writer, I was running ajazz bar in the center of Tokyo,which means that I worked in filthy air all the time late into the night. I wasvery excited when I started making a living out of my writing, and I decided,"I will live in nothing but an absolutely healthy way." Getting upat 5 a.m. every morning, doingsome work first, then going off running. It was very refreshing for me.
