The New Challenges

In 2012 Tracey and I embarked on a series of challenges to raise money for The Haemophilia Society. We had great fun doing it and both felt very fit. So, as we both were slogging up the Mound in the Edinburgh 10 mile run recently, we remarked on how unfit we both were compared to then!

And so Two Tackle Three was resurrected!

Two Tackle Three Take Two (AKA 2T3T2) will see us take on three new challenges each which are crazier and tougher than the first three (although Ventoux was quite tough). We will raise money for an Edinburgh Charity called The Yard. The Yard is a purpose built indoor and outdoor adventure playground for children and young people with disabilities.

Tracey and I have a few links with this amazing facility. One being it has close links with the Childhood Practice Team at Edinburgh College and the second being my late husband, Alistair was involved in providing the yard with their cut down working traffic light, through the BBC Children in Need project, The Big Build.

So Tracey's challenges are -

St Mary Loch Standard Distance Triathlon, Aberfeldy Half Ironman, Glencoe Half Marathon.

And Jane's are -

Windermere Half Marathon, The Moonwalk and the Glencoe Marathon.

We will also be taking part in a variety of other events in preparation for our big challenges.

Our blog will make a welcome return, so you can keep up with our training antics! So please keep up to date. We will let you know soon how you can sponsor us to raise a shed load of cash for The Yard.

Last run of 2011......so many more to come in 2012!!

I think Jane is being a  bit generous with her skipping round with nae bother comment!! and the fact I couldn't walk unaided across the road as she dropped me off should have demonstrated that nicely! Still, I am finding it less hard than I when I first ran way back in Oct , after which I couldn't breath deeply for days as my chest ached from breathing so hard!! Jane is so optimistic and encouraging its easy to go running with her.
Well, I have turned nearly profesional now with a super organised training plan of my own, the focus being on cycling from the New Year( after the GWR on Saturday ..aaargh!!) until Mont Ventoux in April, this will involve many hills, I hate hills!
Thanks to Allister for helping me work this out and suggesting some nasty loooking cycle routes in the  Moorfoot Hills, and to my daughter Eilidh for taking notes and generally laughing at my target times!
Here's to an active year!!!
