Hello anxiety, my old friend...

I go back to work in the morning after being off since December 18th.  Honestly, I'm a bit nervous.  I'm not nervous about the work part - I'm actually quite confident that this is going to be a great semester.  I'm nervous about keeping this mindset that I've built over such an awesome break.

I need to set a schedule for training that I adhere to no matter what, and I haven't sat down and done that on the calendar yet.  I've attempted to do so, but I get so anxious - a whole semester's worth of calendar is kind of overwhelming, especially considering at the end of it there lies a great big question mark - it's tough to nail down a schedule.  I want to see certain days as training days.  My friend Craig does this with his running group, and I really wish I had a group to run with now.

I'm thinking about proposing to my organization, state-wide, the idea of us running in a 5k together, as a team.  A lot of folks are already runners, and the ones who aren't - they could start the Couch 2 5k program!  I could find a race for a cause that appeals to us as a group.......such as the UNCF 5k for Education at the end of Feb!  Everyone will be in town for CIAA anyway - why not add a run to the mix?

Ok, just writing about my anxiety (instead of letting it stew in my head) has made me feel a little better, and now I think I can go to bed.  It's up at 6 to go to the gym for Week Two, Day Two!  I'm excited...let's go!
