This pretty much sums up the most important aspect of marathon running." The hurt part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand any more is up to the runner himself. Say you're running and you start to think, Man this hurts, I can't take it anymore. "One runner told of a mantra his older brother, also a runner, had taught him which he's pondered ever since he began running. I've been struggling as of late staying focused on the hard work of writing, so when I opened the book and read the following lines I knew that a message that I needed to hear had found me:
What materialized was a unique memoir that discusses his twin passions of writing and running, and the interesting way they nurture and inform each other. While training for the New York City Marathon Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami decided to write about it as well. That was certainly the case with Japanese novelist Karuki Murakami's wonderful little book, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. Other times I'll find a book in the most random way - through a footnote or a random citation in an obscure periodical, for instance - and that book's message will be exactly what I needed to hear at that moment in my life. It's funny how life, and reading, works that way. And sure enough, years later, I'll spot the book on the corner of my shelf and be moved to pick it up, only to find exactly what I needed to hear. I'll instinctively know that no matter how much I want to read it that that book's message was meant for a later time. Oftentimes I'll pick up a book, read a few lines, and quickly close the covers. I have this theory that goes like this: sometimes we find books, and sometimes books find us.
