Default Frustrated with my progress..

I went out riding today and found myself "worried" about the same thing over and over again. That worry is about being hit from behind, or...the unknown.

I had a goal to drive to work starting this week. The trip will take me down about 20 miles of two lane highway then about 10 miles of split 4 lane. The posted limit is never over 55.

I have planned on leaving an hour sooner than I do in my car, just in case I need the extra time. This will keep traffic to a minimum and give me plenty of time if I find the need to pull over to get over the anxiety I may or may not have.

What do you folks recommend.

Should I just bite the bullet so to speak and drive on to work or, practice for a few more weeks?
