[pct-l] Section Lake Morena to Julian

[Kathi]

Hello All,
I just started section hiking last year and am still not in the best 
shape of my life. I am in MUCH better shape than I was when I hiked last 
summer and to give you an example of my ability (or lack there of) it 
took me about 8 hours to backpack from Lake Aloha to Fontanillis Lake 
last summer (that was with climbing Dicks Pass... UG!). So... with that 
in mind, and know I am in much better shape, but still not great, than I 
was last summer; do you think doing 15-17 miles in a 9-12 hour day in 
the section from Lake Morena to Julian is doable for a slightly out of 
shape person? I'm looking at the topo maps, etc. but I found A LOT last 
year that what I thought something was going to be like based on the map 
was MUCH different in person.

Thanks!
