I felt the same too when I got to that week. Just go slowly and try not to think about the time. You can do this :)

The same way you did all the runs up to now - one foot in front of the other, at a speed that suits you. πŸ˜‰ Go go go!

Well done! Enjoy the fab feeling. Great way to end the year. Now you should realise that finishing the programme is possible & the gremlins should be hiding out of view :-D
