I am currently in training for Superior 50 miler, which also has a LOT of climbing; so I just started to experiment with the stair machine at my gym this week. I was wondering if you felt that it prepared you well for Grindstone. Or if there was anything you might do different now to train for an ultra with lots of climbing.

I'm the photographer who took the shot(s) of you leaping near mile 47 of the VT100. I'm thinking of doing a brief photo essay for a publication and wanted to ask you a question or two. If you get a moment (asking a lot right now, I see!) please drop me a message at alpinefin [at] comcast.net, or via the blog. Thanks, and good luck this year! <br /><br />http://benkimballphotography.blogspot.com/2013/11/leaps.html<br /><br />http://benkimballphotography.blogspot.com/2016/02/leap-day.htmlBen Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253696012552194569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316867469972700632.post-19953773819970433462016-02-16T11:56:27.440-05:002016-02-16T11:56:27.440-05:00Also drink ALL THE WATER.Also drink ALL THE WATER.Erickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343689824529436214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316867469972700632.post-61704775884636524822016-02-16T11:56:07.104-05:002016-02-16T11:56:07.104-05:00It's hard keeping up with baby demands.

When Sanderson took over the series, I felt the story was finally moving along. <br /><br />Actually, because of The Gathering Storm, I began to read Sanderson's Mistborn series and was completely hooked. What is great about Sanderson is that not only is he just so darn prolific (he finishes things!), but he is consistently good.<br /><br />I am only 120 pages into the final book, and I think it's fine. At this point in my relationship with The Wheel of Time, all I want is decent writing that sounds relatively Jordan-ish and for the plot to move. So far, Sanderson has achieved both, so it's all good :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044330929647913895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316867469972700632.post-57116065164344730192013-01-25T11:52:09.107-05:002013-01-25T11:52:09.107-05:00What do you think of Sanderson so far in the final...What do you think of Sanderson so far in the final book? I do agree Jordan could be long winded but I kind of liked that quality in his writing. Even though it got tedious, I thought it really helped suck me into the story. I have to disagree in your misguided :) belief that Sanderson is a better writer then Jordan. (I think the runners high is affecting your judgement.) I don't think he's even close, although admittedly I haven't read any of his other books. Sanderson did a good job on the last two but I really didn't think he did the final book justice. He may be more concise in his writing style but i think overall he isn't even close to the writer Jordan was. <br /><br />-JP Joe Policastrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560091791872982095noreply@blogger.com
