What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
i read this book at university around 2012. and i was quite new to running, occationally jogging 3k/5k by the sea in moda/istanbul. i don't really remember what the book was about but his marathon preparations, his thinking about consistency and discipline and how running keeps him to write, keep going. the energy of this book, kept me running for the past 14 years by giving me the bug.
this book section was about writing things that i remember from the books, and i say here now that i don't remember the book anymore :D but i still vividly remember the memory of myself reading this book on the subway, and can't wait arriving home to go out for a run. and the joy of going downhills from yeldegirmeni early morning, panting through the busiest section of kadikoy, the sun rising by the sea in moda. i also had a ritual of buying myself a freshly squeezed pomegranate juice after the run, on the way back home. heh. anyways, it's an important book in my life. i should reread it these days once again.
