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.

Aaaaaaaargh!

Just booked my trip to France to tackle Le Ventoux, what have I done????
am just waiting for confirmation so there's still time to back out, perhaps they won't have bike available, or maybe all the hotels will be booked, or there's no trains to France that day....anything....please! The ride is described as " the ultimate challenge" and reading the various websites the most frequently used word is 'relentless' .
On holiday from work this week...woohoo ....so am mixing things up a bit ( I know, wild and crazy eh?) am going to concentrate on doing 2 or 3 hard cycles in an attempt to convince myself that I have a chance of making it up Le Mont!!!

Did my Sat run today though, a different route as I started from home and ran along towards the Braids, but blooming heck, didn't I run over 6k, in fact it was nearly 7!! Jane will be thinking I'm starting to enjoy this! Off swimming now. Need to do this as off out to friends later for much eating and drinking for a belated Burns night. My 'turn' is trying to convince them all to donate some cash!!
