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.

##……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##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.
评分##“跑步是孤独的。骑自行车比跑步更孤独。”像漂浮的朽木一样游泳我也是会的。所以我不如去修炼铁人三项吧。 = =
评分##Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional GR 3.71 (25000) Aud
评分##The uninterrupted Murakami.
评分##At least he never walked.
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.”
