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.
用户评价
##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##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##The uninterrupted Murakami.
评分###path上看闲书# 英文版出奇地流畅，把跑马拉松和铁人三项作为业余活动真是有着惊人的毅力。印象最深的点大概是“写作是件很不健康的事情，于是必须要做件健康的事情来平衡”。跑步也是孤独的运动，却也是神奇地发现对自己的掌控力惊人的运动（后者还没有从实践中验证）。年岁渐长，重新觉得自律是件迷人的事。希望近几年内能跑次纽约全马。｜七年后被人点赞短评“有用”来更新下，这几年来一直在跑步，前几年也如愿跑了纽约全马，巨开心。
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##把跑步和人生需要的品质结合起来，读起来很激动和兴奋
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。
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。
