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

It was a toughy today. By the time I got home from work it was really horrible. It was windy and misty and rainy. Yuk. It took a bit of talking to myself to get  me out of my nice cosy house. But because I am away at the weekend I decided I really had to get out and do my 6 mile run. What to wear? It was so wet a rain jacket was necessary but was it cold? I opted not to put my gloves on but one step outside and I thought I need a hat. So with my Fetch buff, raincoat, long sleeved top, long leggings and my woolly hat out I set. About one mile into the run the jacket came off, two miles, the hat, three miles (the one with the big hill) I had to roll my sleeves up and unzip the bottom of my leggings. Phew, it was warm even though it was still raining and blowing a gale. Don't you just love scottish weather. As Billy Connolly said "there isn't bad weather, just the wrong clothes".

Anyway, 6 miles run and enjoying a cup of tea now.

don't worry, be happy:)
