To me it seems that running is a good way to get away from all the presions and problems in my llife. Some of that is in this not so good book but at least he does a good job describing the scenery. http://www.amazon.com/What-About-Running-Vintage-International/dp/0307389839
There is a book for it called https://www.amazon.com/What-Talk-About-When-Running/dp/0307389839
My two favorite running books are What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and Run Gently Out There. The /r/AdvancedRunning Book Club also has a good list.
First of all have you read Murakami's book on running? just curious, as a book nerd. Surely you've read The Oatmeal?
Ok ok first question. Why do you run Raisin? What do you like about it?
Now a less philosophical one:
So, what kind of stretches do you recommend before running? And after? I've noticed alot of stiffness around my knees and the muscles on the sides of my legs so I'm thinking I'm not stretching properly.
I liked reading Murakami, not resourceful but fun to read.
