I started running at a younger age, but Mr. Murakami’s experience is nearly identical to my own. I ran for fitness, but found myself getting competitive and challenging myself more and more. I was running beside him as he described his experiences in this book. A great, short read about running that any runner can relate to.

One of author’s must read.

Really good read about running and handling life

Although it may be easy to assume that this book is only for runners but after having read this book I am applying Murakami's life principles to wok and my personal situations. I am a runner but I have learned so much more about applying discipline, focus, dedication, passion, drive, and most importantly joy in every aspect of my life. This book is highly recommended for all ages and all fitness levels.

The 2nd favorite book of this author in my Life! I am just so addict to this author when I was about 13 yrs old!
