Reread 2020:
I read this book for the first time back in 2010. Back then, I didn't even consider running myself. I think I picked this book (by the looks of the label I bought it in Thailand) back in 2009, because I liked Murakami's writing.
Now, I can understand what he means. I have started running myself, and his words are really inspiring to read. Murakami is such a "normal" but at the same time extraordinary person. The way he writes about long-distance running (and novel writing) are inspirational to me.
Yesterday, I went running my usual 5km with this book in mind. Who knows, maybe I'm able to complete a marathon one day. For now, it's good enough to just keep running and keeping my body fit.
