具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##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.
評分##At least he never walked.
評分###path上看閑書# 英文版齣奇地流暢，把跑馬拉鬆和鐵人三項作為業餘活動真是有著驚人的毅力。印象最深的點大概是“寫作是件很不健康的事情，於是必須要做件健康的事情來平衡”。跑步也是孤獨的運動，卻也是神奇地發現對自己的掌控力驚人的運動（後者還沒有從實踐中驗證）。年歲漸長，重新覺得自律是件迷人的事。希望近幾年內能跑次紐約全馬。｜七年後被人點贊短評“有用”來更新下，這幾年來一直在跑步，前幾年也如願跑瞭紐約全馬，巨開心。
評分##Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional GR 3.71 (25000) Aud

評分##跑步的時候反復聽， 不想跑的時候反復聽，沒力氣的時候反復聽，這本書最近簡直變成我的精神支柱。
評分##At least he never walked.
評分##Started on Nov.4.2009. Thanks for Ivan Zhai. Finished on Feb.4.2009.
評分##“跑步是孤獨的。騎自行車比跑步更孤獨。”像漂浮的朽木一樣遊泳我也是會的。所以我不如去修煉鐵人三項吧。 = =
