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.

Tuesday 28 February 2012

It feels like AGES since I last did a proper run, what with having a big snotty cold and trying to increase my cycling. This morning I had 2 classes back to back, no time for even a coffee break in between, so it would have been really easy to not run at lunchtime, sit down and scoff some lunch. But off I went, out on the route along the shore, which I think is nearly 4 miles, although I could be exaggerating! After such a long break I thought it would be hard, but actually felt OK, I'm still never going to win any races, but I am now able to plod along quite happily ( I am playing it bit loose with the word happily there)
I never regret having got out there and run, swam or cycled, but I always regret it if I talk myself out of it. Why then do I still continue to have arguments with myself? Just get on with it TJ!

    We all do that Tracey - it is part of the game. All of us runners know that we will feel great (and smug) when we come back but spend the half hour before we go out talking ourself out of it. Same goes for racing! You know you will love it but just think "why am I doing this to myself". :)
