So, I can't think of it as the class I don't want to take but have to take. I can't think of the money I had to spend to take the class I don't want to take but have to take. I can't think of it as having to get up even earlier than I do for work (!) in order to make it on time to the class I don't want to take but have to take. I can't think about how my internal workings will deal (or not deal) with that schedule. I can't think about sitting in a window-less room all day long, all week long, when the weather is finally supposed to be nice. I can't think about not getting home until stupidly late then having to cram in a run and post-run recovery tactics. I can't think about not having time to eat dinner, but only having 20 minutes during the day to eat some form of main meal for the day. I can't think about not seeing or speaking to anyone that isn't in this class (that I don't want to have but have to take). I can't think about any of it. I will slide into a sobbing heap if I do.
Things like this (for many and varied reasons) very nearly broke me this year.
I can't think about it.
So I'm not.
What I am thinking is this...
Next week, I am going to go though one hard-core, kick-butt, deep-cleansing detox. Because, hey, if I've gotta get up that early, and I'm not going to have time to eat, I may as well make it work to my advantage, right?
That little change in perspective gives me something I can actually (oddly) look forward to. And maybe even be a little excited about.
(Why does this feel like progress to me???)

Wow that sounds evil. How long is this class? Hopefully not more than a week...
What kind of detox do you do? Do you find they really help? I've eyed them before, but figure I would never have the discipline for that. But if it's really worth it...
Why? What? That SUCKS!
And your "reward" next week?... doesn't not sound like fun to me either.
These classes....they always seem like a scam to me. Just a way to take money and time from teachers who are already paid little and work lots. I am sure I am not helping, just understanding. I hope this week flies by and you are free next week?
