Good luck showing your face on Strava after running 9.99 miles . #striveforgreatness.
Can you stop a run when your watch says 9.99 miles? .Or do you run circles in the parking lot to get to 10?. Try being okay with 9.99, in whatever your endeavor. It's easy to let 'the thing' start dictating your behaviors. Train your mental muscle to sit with the anxiety.
