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.

Thursday 26 January 2012

Out bright and early to swim before work, and got myself organised to get a swim membership at the pool, this is to ensure I stick with 2 days swim per week! Completed 30 lengths of front crawl in just over 20 mins, so think I must be improving, as a couple of weeks ago I couldn't even do one! Also really need to get some new goggles, the old ones get so steamed up I cant see a thing and end up all over the lane, much to other swimmers annoyance.
Things are looking up since yesterday, central heating now working and no cat related incidents in the kitchen!

    I am loving the quote from the Mont Ventoux web page "Be fit and able to deal with effort to avoid being completely exhausted at the top". LOL :)
