Non-fiction - reflections from Murakami about his life as a marathon runner - and tri-athlete. Talking about fitting exercise into his schedule - running 26.2 miles aone in Greece - running the NYC marathon. I especially enjoyed the chapters about tri-athlon and his biking challenges. 
But - as a firm believer in Jeff Galloway's Run/Walk method - I did not appreciate his comment of "at least I didn't walk". 
There is no shame in walking part of your running race people!
