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.

##at least he never walked
评分##从前我以为此书于我的意义，是村上说的"pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"。现在才体会到，其实村上对"rhythm"的描述，才是此书的力量。

评分##治愈系~~ 大爱里面很多名言，尤其是“in the long distance, the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be.”

评分4小时23分的audio book，两天给听完鸟。给5星是因为这是唯一一本我知道村上在写些什么的书。
