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.

4小時23分的audio book，兩天給聽完鳥。給5星是因為這是唯一一本我知道村上在寫些什麼的書。
評分##“I didn’t start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. Just like I didn’t become a novelist because somebody asked me to. And one day, out of the blue, I started to write a novel. And one day, out of the blue, I started to run——simply because I wanted to.”
評分##看完英文版，覺得中文版翻譯得實在太好瞭.....兩種韻味哈..
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##把跑步和人生需要的品質結閤起來，讀起來很激動和興奮
評分##Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional GR 3.71 (25000) Aud
評分##每隔一段時間讀一遍給自己打雞血，誰說心靈雞湯沒用我跟誰急
評分##從前我以為此書於我的意義，是村上說的"pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"。現在纔體會到，其實村上對"rhythm"的描述，纔是此書的力量。
