Anyone else a Haruki Murakami fan? I didn't know he was a runner, just found out last week and I got his book today. Amazon link to the book. http://www.amazon.com/What-Talk-About-When-Running/dp/0307269191

It's on my list I want to read. I believe he's run 26 marathons.

He's run a 100k ultra as well. Here's an excerpt from the book about his experience running the ultra. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/jul/27/athletics.harukimurakami

Thanks for the link, Aaron. (Although, reading that makes me feel silly over my nervousness about my first 5K race tomorrow. )

I haven't read this yet but I've been meaning to. Murakami is one of my favorite authors -- everyone should read all of his stuff!

I read most of it before I had to return it to the library--I think I might buy it with some birthday $$. The part about the ultra was really, really good.

Reading it now - so far I'm slightly disappointed...
