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.

Saturday 21 January 2012

Went for a good run today, despite the wind and freezing rain. Actually it always seems to stop raining during my run, which has either been extremely lucky for me or I'm running so fast I am missing the raindrops!!!
Went off down the Innocent Railway again, Dr De Motivate telling me to " just do a short one" but Sir Smuggleton arguing that this is the only day I have proper time to go for a decent distance, Sir Smuggleton won again! Ran to the end of the track and back, and ...get this..didn't feel I had run far enough as it had only taken me 30 mins!!! That has never happened before! So made myself do a couple of up and downy bits up some steps and down then up the steep hill a couple of times, then back to pick Eilidh up from dancing. So I ran for a total of 44 mins. Imagine my surprise when I worked out that without the up and downy extras I had actually run 5k. This can only mean one thing, it is at last getting easier!! off for a swim later, have to say not looking forward to the windy cycle tomorrow, and those dastardly friends of mine have made me out tonight, again!!
