Lessons in Life, Pain and Exhilaration - From 5K to the Marathon. In this year-long memoir, which might be described as a historian''s take on Haruki Murakami''s ''What I talk About When I Talk About Running'', the celebrated historian Ian Mortimer considers the meaning of running as he approaches his fiftieth birthday. From injuries and frustrated ambitions to exhilarating and empathy, it is a personal and yet universal account of what running means to people, and how it helps everyone focus on what really matters. |
