Last Wednesday, I got out for a long 15 mile hike in the Superstitions. Originally I planned to do the shorter 12 mile out and back to Black Top Mesa, but decided on doing the 3rd trip of Marsh Valley Loop. I finished in rather quick time to for me, about 7.5 hours. After not doing a long hike for some time, I was concerned that I may have difficulties, but time flew by and I was not very sore at the end. I thought about another long hike on Sunday, but weather was not with me for that.I started listening to the second book from the Kingkiller series from Patrick Rothffus, The Wise Man's Fear. This is the sequel to the Name of the Wind, which was a fabulous book. So far the new book is just as engaging, even if a bit repetative at times to the original book. This one took him over 4 years to write, I imagine the next book will be just as long and the 3 book series will turn into a never ending mess.
