"What I Talk about When I Talk about Running" by Haruki Murakami

book review by Riley Burnham 4/12/2024

it's good(!)

a memoir by a novelist, he explains how he got into running & why he keeps doing it

taking us through training for marathons, triathlons, & Iron Man, as well as venturing to Marathon, Greece to retread that familiar path...

it's about his body, & began on a whim/because he wanted to

he says he continues running to stay in shape as a novelist, & points out how missing consecutive days is problematic... that the body adjusts when you notify it properly ["this is what we're doing"], & that we only get one set of knees...

​​​​​​​makes me consider running again for sure
