「走ることについて語るときに僕が語ること」
を読んでいて
まだ半分しか読んでないけど はは
気に入ったところをご紹介します～～
村上さんがオリンピックランナーの瀬古利彦さんに
「瀬古さんくらいのレベルのランナーでも今日はなんか走りたくないなと思うようなことってあるんですか？」
と
そしたら
「当たり前じゃないですか。そんなのしょっちゅうですよ！」
と帰って来たらしい。
そして村上さんはホッとした、と。
私もすごい共感で
「すごい」ヒトってもしかして
めんどくせぇ～
とか
思わないんじゃないか？？？って
好きなことなのにジムに行くのもめんどくさい時もあれば曲書くのがめんどくさいこともある、、
でもオリンピックのランナーでも走りたくないな～～～
村上さんでも書きたくないな～～～～
と思う日があるならば
きっと私は大丈夫
なんて思った日でした
チャンチャン
なつかしい写真みつけちゃった
かわいすぎる～～～～～

I'm reading one of Haruki Murakami's latest books. It's not a novel, it's about his life, being a novelist, a writer, and a runner. He's been running (almost) everyday for the past 30 years. He runs marathons, triathlons etc. He was sharing how he relates his running style to his writing style and it's really intriguing. I hope this comes out in English soon, because you get an insight of him, not through his characters, but directly from him. There's this part where he interviews an Olympic runner and asks him if he has any days where he doesn't feel like running. The runner replies 'of course! all the time!' and that comforted him. knowing that even people of that level have unmotivated days. I don't know why but this put me at ease too. I think somewhere in my head, I had this conception that those people who are highly skilled or talented at something, never felt laziness towards what they do. But knowing we're all human, is somewhat of a relief to me ;) i LOVE his books.
