Loved reading this ❤️ I loved the intro paragraph.What a lovely way to express it. I also picked " what I talk about when I talk about running" as my first murakami book last month. I am into running and writing both so I could relate to a lot of stuff in it. I even started this ritual of postrun writing. And it feels so good.
Yes, i did finish the book. I knew the book was going to be a memoir kind of thing. It was really interesting to see a different side of a person for something he is not known for. I loved some of the chapters about running marathons. I did my first 10k this year and the way he wrote about it was so well that it felt like i was literally there watching it happening.
Now i want to read more of his stuff.
I used to journal every now and then but now making it into a habit. a lot of the times, I wonder a lot of things while running. like a conversation with myself. so when i come home, I write it down in journal. not just about running, but anything in general.

Hey Rutik, I am so sorry I forgot to respond to this comment. Did you finish the book? I am on the last chapter :P
What kind of writing do you do post running? Is it a running journal?
Curious to know about your thoughts of the book since you don both hats!
