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.

Wild Wet and Windy!

Glad I didn't read Janes post this morning as I only talked myself into a run thinking that she would be doing the Park Run!
Since I was being taxi driver for Eilidh this morning to her friends house near Arthurs Seat I thought I'd give it another bash. So off I shuffled, up the hill, into a really strong head wind! Was buffetted all the way up the hill, and the only good thing about it was the free facial scub courtesy of rain disguising itself as hail stones, boy, they sting!! Met a veritable tidal wave at St Margarets Loch, then it felt like  running into a wind tunnel all the way along the top road. Despite my motivational problems ( my inner woose kept telling me just to walk, no one would know!) I managed it in about 42 mins, and dont tell Jane, but it didn't feel too bad, things only started to hurt along the final straight.
Have a good Christmas......will definately be having a day off tomorrow!!!

    What? a day off - running on Christmas day is a must!! You are turning into a runner Tracey Joyce and don't you try and deny it!!! Only two weeks to the big race - I have just been reminded on Fetch that it is only 8 months to the Spey Side Way and let me tell you that has put the wind up me!!!! Have a great day tomorrow and we can try and catch up mid week for a run.
