Transformed

"I don't know what sort of general significance running 100 kilometres by yourself has, but, as an action that deviates from the ordinary yet doesn't violate basic values, you'd expect it to afford you a special sort of self-awareness. It should add a few new elements to your inventory in understanding who you are. And as a result, your view of your life, its colours and shape, should be transformed. More or less, for better or for worse, this happened to me, and I was transformed."

- Haruki Murakami writing in the Observer
