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 running ramblings

Decided to go out for a bit of a time trial today. I have a two mile (fairly flat, well it is Penicuik) route which is an out and back. The last time I did this TT my times were around 10 and a half minutes for the first mile and 11and a half for the second. This time, admittedly wind assisted, I was 8min 40secs (????) for the first mile and 10mins 15 secs for the second mile. I have spent a lot of time this year running away from my problems and not really timing myself, but who hoo, look at the side effects - am I fast or what? (don't think I have ever run a sub 9 min mile - even if it was wind assisted).

Sitting here typing and feeling quite smug - Arthur's Seat will soon sort that smugness out - LOL.

don't worry, be happy :)
