barely made it thought the first chapter. This just wasn't for me.
Didn't love it as much as I had hoped. Perhaps this was because I listened to it on CD, but it was redundant and meandering. At the same time, I appreciated his views on running, why he runs, and the feelings that go along with it (as well as his forays into triathlon).
It was fine. I listened to the audiobook. Not sure why his voice and thoughts on running are given attention other than he's an author. And I really love his other work. I'm a fan of his fiction. Maybe at the time of publication there just were not that many people writing about running in an accessible way and that's why this was given airtime. Honestly, I probably wouldn't recommend because there is plenty of other things to read about running.

ik heb het niet meer, en bij twee pogingen is het me ook niet weer gelukt om het terug te krijgen, maar een heerlijke beschrijving van de pijn, het stompzinnige heerlijke en bijna niet te stoppen verslavende van rennen.
dan kun je beter verslaafd zijn aan het maken van mooie tuinen, daar hebben tenminste je vrienden ook wat aan ;-)

In depth look of what it is like to be a runner, the way your mind wanders on runs and the type of commitment it requires in your schedule as you train. Enjoyed his writing style and getting to know a bit about the author.
Quick easy read. Had some interesting insights to meditate on as I train. Some nice subtle humor throughout.
Haruki Murakami is a greater novelist but memoir writer he is not. I thought this would be inspiring as I train for a marathon but it fell very flat and I slogged through it (much like my actual marathon training). The best I learned is that even seasoned runners sometimes hate running which is comforting.
