This book...

...is now 400 pages. 127,000 words. And I am not within any sight of the ending. Just coming off the back straight, perhaps: better than halfway, yes, but with that endless final bend before I can hope to look for the finishing line, and even then it'll be a sprint away. [/sporting metaphor]

It's a balrog. And I am tired already.

Just hold your form. You don't need to sprint after 130k words, but that IS the way it will seem.
