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.

Janey's biking blether

It was so windy and freezing cold outside (although very sunny) that I decided to drag the bike trainer from the loft (mechanical doo dah not some poor Mark Cavendish lookalike) and set it up in the conservatory.  Attached my lovely sparkly white road bike to it (only go out in sunshine - no likey rain) and put the telly on.

45 mins later and a solved murder (Lewis) and I was puggled. It is amazing how much harder work the bike trainer is than just being out on the road for 45 mins. Anyway, job done. Won't record miles on bike yet until the weather warms up but will keep trying to up the time I am on the trainer.

Anyway, Great Winter Run on Saturday so will go for a short amble tomorrow to keep legs ticking over. Looks the like the weather forecast is okay for Saturday so here's hoping.

don't worry, be happy :)
