具体描述
In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a dozen critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing.
Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and takes us to places ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvelous lens of sport emerges a panorama of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back.
By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revelatory, both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in running.

##很喜欢这本书，正好解答了这段时间一些困惑，有的时候书也是一种缘分，就像在适当的时候遇到了对的人，希望有天我也能像他那么了解自己，知道自己的limits在哪，知道自己喜欢什么，不刻意为之，而是顺其自然，为自己定制一种lifestyle。

评分##……读完了对此人有了新的认识；……啰啰嗦嗦，原来不是天才，但是有时候也太过于谦虚，最重要还是啰啰嗦嗦的一本书，但是还不难看

评分##跑步的时候反复听， 不想跑的时候反复听，没力气的时候反复听，这本书最近简直变成我的精神支柱。
评分##一本小書，如小口品嘗飯後甜點般讀完。這幾年讀過的第三本關於跑步的書；第一本村上先生的書。譯者行文流水，讀來完全沒有違和感。印象最深的還是那句：Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
