You can do it. Go out there with a positive mind and take your mind off the time by other thoughts! Enjoy, you are ready for this πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘πŸΌ

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!
