Murakami is no joke. He's run countless marathons and participated in an ungodly amount of triathlons. Not only is he a hugely talented writer (see The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle), but he's also a gifted athlete. I'd love to meet him. If you're interested in both running and writing, this is a great read. Murakami becomes much more human as he divulges about his challenges in both arenas. I have a hard time believing that a man of his stature would have any insecurities at all. I guess we're all more alike than we might think.
