I didn’t expect to relate to a lot of things Murakami does in his life. I don’t do marathon or triathlon but I do love running, swimming and even cycling, I’d love cycling if I actually have time to do it. All this I do without a goal just for fun unlike him. It sounds simple and I don’t have  enough words right now to express how I like this book. 
I do have issues with his other works however few books of his are and will still be my favourite and I do think I’m grown up enough to continually read more of his works whenever I want with a critical and clearer mind.
I love how pristine and straightforward this too. This is really is about running.
