When I talk about running, I talk about something — Haruki Murakami

Running is a pillar of my daily life, and I feel happy just by running.

2. Many of the methods of writing novels I learned every morning as I ran down the road, naturally, personally, and practically, and I wanted to assemble into a book what I had been running on the road for twenty-five years and thinking about fragments at the same time.

3. "Pain is hard to avoid, but suffering can be chosen", this phrase appears in my mind repeatedly whenever I run a long time.

4. The seasons start again and again, the years do not go back, I am one year older, I am afraid that I have written another novel. Bravely face the problems in front of you and go all out to solve them one by one. Focus your consciousness on every step you take, while also looking at the problem as long as possible, looking at the scenery as far away as possible. I'm a long-distance runner after all.

5. Grades, rankings, appearances, and how others comment are all minor issues. For runners like me, the most important thing is to run through the finish line with both feet, so that the person has no regrets: I have done everything I should do, and I have endured what I should endure. From those failures and joys, learn concretely and continuously. And invest time and years, accumulate such games again and again, and finally reach a state of complete acceptance, or infinite similarity.

6. Even if this is an act of pouring water into an old pot with a small hole in the bottom, at least the fact that you have tried will survive. Whether it is ineffective or good-looking, almost everything that is vital to us is invisible to the naked eye, but can be felt with the mind. And what is really valuable is often obtained through very inefficient ways of making a living. Even if this is an act of falsehood, it is by no means a foolish act. I think so, as a tangible feeling, as a rule of thumb.

When reading this book, I am always constantly sighing, for the author, life is good enough, there is no need to set up obstacles for yourself, to eat those hardships. But the author is constantly adding weight to his life. When you feel that your long-distance running performance has not improved at all, you turn to the triathlon challenge. I was impressed by the spirit of the author. At the same time, I feel ashamed of myself.

I'm also a running enthusiast, and that's why I bought this book. But I don't have the perseverance of the author, counting, I have been running for nearly 20 years now, but it is intermittent, such as now, I have begun to cat winter, the reason is that the morning is too dark to go out. It's early in the morning, so there's no time in the morning, and when you leave work in the evening, it's dark. You can only run for half a year a year.

Look at the author, not only insist on long-distance running, but also constantly challenge themselves, watch the author describe in detail his painful experience when participating in the competition, feel that my thoughts are also surging, this book brings me strength, it has more impact on me than I perceive. I'll be like the author, and I'll keep running.

Isn't that what our lives are all about? It's the same with reading, keep reading. Running and reading are inefficient, invisible to the naked eye, but can be felt with the mind.

Let's run, read, run a life.
