Having doubts

Week 1 Run 1 finished my warm up and started to run and went sprawling into the pavement. £300 pair of glasses down and look like I have been 5 rounds with Mike Tyson

Sorry about your fall Technowitch, just happened as you were starting run 2 of week 1, didn't help getting cut and breaking those expensive glasses,

I just hope that you can recover as quickly as possible and get back to running, this time take the runs slower.

The plan works, no need for doubts about that.

People fall over while walking........ I threw my knee out walking across the road.

If you want to transform your life, stick with it.

Oh blimey! That’s bad luck! Can you claim on insurance for your glasses?

Ouch!. for your financial AND physical pain. Really hope you mend quickly and keep your nerve to get back out there and give it another go! It’s transformed my life in just two months. I’ve been amazed how it has worked for me- even taking it as slowly and carefully as I have... due to a lot of excess weight and not being a spring chicken anymore 😂

Good luck!!

That's an awful start but it doesn't have to be an omen, or the end. Fingers crossed for a better reset 🤞

Oh ouch! Poor you. Hope you heal up quickly. Re: glasses - you can often claim such accidents on your household insurance. That’s where I’d start. It often covers loss and/or damage to personal items, even if you’re out & about.

Oh no! Don’t let it put you off, hopefully it’s a one off although even the best runners trip every now and then (maybe just cheapo glasses next time just in case!)

Hi Glossy thanks for your support. Sadly I need all the fancy lenses or I am a danger to myself and others. Luckily I have a spare pair gotta love Specsavers
