Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson

They killed his father to begin with and then left you wondering just what was Steelheart's fatal flaw. And so, read and read to find out. Very light reading. I like the Way of Kings because it's so dark. But everything else by this guy is just too light and fluffy. And the banter in this book is just stupid. Can't imagine what is going on in Sanderson's head as he's writing it, how he could think it interesting or entertaining.

The one thing that kept it going... was finally revealed at the ending... Oh yes, he could only be hurt by someone who didn't fear him. Other than that, not much to say about this.

Wife is away for a week. Hope to write 5,000 words while she is gone. Got my 1000 today. Although at 1000, (which took an hour or so), I've had about enough.

After Steelheart I did a search for intellectual fantasy fiction. Really need something to counter that book. And did bookmark a page. And am reading something that seems pretty good (The Brief History of the Dead.)

Today with running. I'm going so fast I finally really do need a warmup. I just can't immediately go at 6:30 pace. Anyway did 9.1, 9.2, 9.2 and 9.3mph (6.4min/mile) pace for 3 minutes each at 2.2% incline. Then 10 and 10.1 mph for 1 minute each. All with 4 minutes of rest between. This is my new thing. Much longer rests, so that I can run much faster. Also doing a bit of leaping after a couple times a week because I want the legs back I once had. Want some of that bounce back in my step.

I think I could probably handle quite a bit more than 10.1 mph for 1 minute intervals. Will be interesting to see what I get up to. I really hope I don't break the treadmill.
