Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg (Lunchtime)Running Group
凱利·卡西戴和安能堡跑步小組的其他三個成員
were stretching on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few stragglers.
正在賓夕法尼亞大學的操場上伸展身體，等著幾個掉隊的人。
The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture.
這些賓夕法尼亞大學的同事和其他社區(qū)成員一周相約三次，一塊進行大約30分鐘的慢跑，偶爾還有講座。
That's right—during some runs, one of them delivers a talk; topics range from the brain to Bitcoin.
對的-有時候在跑步時，他們中的一個人會講話，話題從大腦到比特幣都有。
Not your normal exercise chatter. But on this day last January, it would not be their normal run.
總之不是日常的閑聊。但是但是在去年一月的這天，這次將不會是他們?nèi)粘５呐懿健?/div>
The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them.
事情不妙的第一個線索是那個沖過他們的人。
"Probably running a 7:15 pace," Cassidy told Runner's World admiringly.
“大概是7:15的速度，”卡西迪對《跑步者世界》雜志說。
Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by, yelling, "Help! He took my phone and laptop!"
卡西迪發(fā)現(xiàn)了當另一個人從他身邊跑過時他跑的如此之快的原因。他大喊，“求助！他拿走了我的手機和筆記本電腦！”
At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site.
聽到這個，這個小組做了跑步小組會做的事情：他們沿著費城的街道追著嫌犯，直到他躲進一個建筑工地。
The runners split up. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off
跑步者分開了。卡西戴跑到了工地的另一端去攔截盜賊，
while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot in a backyard.
其他人則在附近游蕩，希望他把贓物丟在一個后院。
No luck. So they decided to ask residents whether they'd seen the guy.
運氣不佳。所以他們決定去問居民是否見過這個家伙。
When they knocked on the door of one row house, they were in for a surprise.
他們敲了聯(lián)排住宅的一個房子的門，然后感到很驚訝。
Unbeknownst to them, the perp had already emerged from the construction site—and was hiding behind a bush by that very house.
他們不知道的是，這個罪犯已經(jīng)離開建筑工地-就藏在他們進去的房子旁邊的灌木叢后面。
As the owner opened the door, the suspect darted out from behind the bush ...
房主開門時，嫌疑犯從灌木叢后面竄了出來...
and right into the arms of campus police, who'd joined the chase shortly behind the runners.
正好跑進了校警的懷中，他們就在跑步者后面加入了這場追逐。
The members of this running group are not hard-core jocks. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise.
這個跑步小組的成員不是骨干運動員。但他們知道做點運動的好處。
"Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat," Cassidy told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
“跑步通常是一種無用的運動，你跑步時把脂肪細胞轉(zhuǎn)變成熱量。”卡西戴告訴《費城詢問報》。
"But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities."
“但是有時它是有用的，這次就是一個機會。”
