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.

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##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。
