Hi, All. I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who responded to my Dark Night of the Soul post on Friday. I was utterly despondent and fed up, having completely bailed out of my W6 run 3 when I was only 7 minutes in.

Your advice was so good that I actually found myself looking forward to having another go. I still gave myself the weekend off, stepped onto the treadmill this evening, and while I can't say I enjoyed it (I always have - and I think I always will - found exercise pretty tedious) I used many of your suggested techniques and was able to let my mind wander while I chugged towards my 25 minute goal. And wouldn't you know it, I got there with energy to spare and was even able to have a bit of a sprint (if you interpret the word very loosely!) for the last minute.

So thanks again for the great advice and the wonderful support. Week 7 here I come!
