Maybe this just works for me, but I'll put it out there in case it may work for you, too- I never worry about having to write 110 pages, and I never divide "x pages a day, divided by 110 pages, means I'll finish by".
I just try to get to page 80 or 85 or so. (To which you are almost half way already!)
Why? Because the first couple of dozen of pages come agonizingly slow - but the third act, usually, is written in a white hot heat - like 15 pages a day. Once you smell the end, you go for it. And you don't have much else to figure out - you've worked everything else out - so it's just typing and typing and smiling.
So get to page 80. You're almost there.
