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.

Dr D certainly had a good running chum today, what a grump I've been in all day. I could quite easily have not bothered, but as Jane said, go on, get out there, you'll feel better for it. And it worked, at least for a while! Went for a run which I reckon to be nearly 5 k. It's my "easy" week of training so no interval stuff, just good old fashioned running! Hoping to do the Park Run in 35 mins on Sat.
Day didn't get much better as I've just arrived home and found one of the cats has done a crap on the kitchen floor....nice!!! tomorrow can only get better......

    Ha Ha Ha Ha - I know I shouldn't laugh but the cat crap made me crack up - your day was just that today wasn't it!!! :) Running is good for cheering you up - I always think it is because you are working so hard you remember what is important in life and generally work isn't at the top of the list and well maybe the cat too!!! :)
