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

What absolutely gorgeous day for running. The sun was shining, there was only a light breeze and it wasn't too cold. Perfect! Ran five miles comfortably. I like when you get to the point in your training where 5 miles becomes an easy run, that's when you know you are getting stronger. Feeling good!

Rest day tomorrow, but might go for a walk anyway (active rest I think that is called). Tracey is braving it out to the mountainous region of Midlothian (Penicuik) for a run with me on my turf! Been trying to plot a route which doesn't have any hills (almost impossible - there might be one or two wee tiny ones but we will definitely avoid the biggies I promise Tracey). The Ventoux will seem tiny in comparison to Penicuik hills (not).

don't worry, be happy :)
