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.

A couple of sessions....

Wednesdays are my "floating day" on my training schedule, which basically means run if you can, but if you cant, dont beat yourself up about it! So, knowing I had a long day at work I didn't think I'd be able to fit one in. Luckily one of my students cancelled their visit, so off I went first thing. I'm not good at running in the mornings, too sleepy, cant focus until after coffee, but managed to do about 3.5k, but also fitted in some interval training for the first time. did 4 x "sprints" and then tried to pick up the pace for the second half of the run. Did it in about 31mins
Thursday is my swimming day, so got up early (that wasn't easy!) and was in the pool by 8am and just swam for half an hour. I have no idea how many lengths that is, as it was too early to count!
Thus endeth the first week of my schedule, and it all starts again on Saturday! Day off tomorrow, and a celebratory beer!
Jane and I have both officially signed up for the Peebles Tri on 10th June...no turning back now!
