Pipeline from elbow fork to the overlook and back. Added up the canyon a ways. The switchbacks are tough if you do them at mile 1, at mile 12 they're just a hill with seemingly no end. Seriously, get done with one and it sort of flattens out giving you false hope, then comes another hill. It was only my knowledge that there was a good chunk of flat trail between the hills and the road that kept me sane. Haha jk. I may have definitely walked the last of them (oops). 13 miles was my "I'm ready to be done" point. Getting nervous for the upcoming long runs over the next few weeks. I feel really slow, and I am going really slow (9:00 pace), but I'm getting in the miles. Not sure if I should have a goal time for the marathon or not since, to be honest, just finishing it will be an accomplishment. But is under 4 hrs a reasonable goal? I worry that I won't even be able to hit that lol, I'm not in great shape

I think you'll be able to go sub 4 easily. Just don't start out too fast. You have to rein yourself back. Looking forward to seeing how you do. And great job on the 15 miles!!!

Aww thanks Burt!! I’ll definitely try to remember that, it could be tempting to start out quicker but I’m sure it would be rough going if you go out too hard!
