Today was the first training workshop that I have to attend as part of the conditions of the business start-up bursary I've been awarded. I wasn't looking forward to it anyway, and felt even less able to do yesterday when I found out that it was actually due to be 3 hours long, not the 1.5 hours I was originally led to believe it would be (accidentally so).
I was nervous last night, but still managed to go for a Valentine's meal out with my husband (I ate nearly a whole meal with no panic - I only stopped because it was a large helping and I was full!), and felt groggy when I woke up this morning after disconnected dreams about things going wrong at the workshop.
Even while I was driving there I kept being sure that I was never going to make it through the whole 3 hours. I did though!! I had a bit of a wobble at about the 1hr 45mins mark, but tried to relax through and ride it out. I was pleased when it was the end and I could leave, but even then I went to Subway for some lunch rather than getting in the car and dashing straight home.
I have another 12 hours of training to do between now and the end of March, so I'm pleased that I've made it over this first hurdle
