Just read this book…

Im getting the hang of it but its still hard to read lol

The most important question humankind faces. Good but challenging read so far.

“What I mean is, I didn’t start running because somebody asked me to become a runner, just like I didn’t become a novelist because someone asked me to. One day, out of the blue, I wanted to write a novel. And one day, out of the blue, I started to run - simply because I wanted to.”

I feel you Murakami

“And one of the privileges given to those who’ve avoided dying young is the blessed right to grow old. The honor of physical decline is waiting, and you have to get used to that reality.”

Murakami gives a rich insight into likely one of his most daunting and influential runs of his life (62 mile ultra). I want to experience this myself, but share the anxieties he expressed at the race’s most crucial points.
