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 swimming stories

What a busy morning I have had. I had so much to fit in I started early.

8am Asda online shopping - tick
9am Swimming session - tick
9.50 (although was a wee bit late) dentist - tick
10 am Tesco shopping (bread and milk) - tick
10.15am Pick up parcels at the post office - tick
10.30am washing on and hoovering - tick
10.45 am wee cup of tea and a bit of Fetching - tick

My swim was interesting. I had the whole pool to myself for 13 lengths and then the lifeguards looked they were putting out lanes (I got momentarily excited) and then I realised they were putting the boom wall up for the wee tiny tots swimming class. I asked the lifeguard if what was left was 20m - "no" he said "17 and a half". What kind of half assed distance is that???? I just couldn't do the maths so just kept swimming until it got to 9.30am (cos that was the time I had to leave to make the dentist on time - which I didn't!!).

So early on my day's training is over and my afternoon is set to be just as busy. Got to take Andy into the University and then come home and do the ironing.

life is good (if busy)

don't worry, be happy :)
