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.

Friday 30 March 2012

2 days in a row cycling to work. Feel quite smug! Actually it's been quite pleasant cos it's been so nice, if it was always like this I'd cycle all the time...Eilidh would have to get a backy though....think she'd go for it? I was musing as I was cycling along the Braids about a few years ago when I got a random virus that no one could identify, it completely floored me and took weeks to recover from. That was about 5 years ago, and could have been the cause of my diabetes. I have read that sometimes a viral infection can cause it. Anyway when I was recovering from that I started to cycle and I felt a sense of achievement when I was able to cycle from my house to the end of the Braids and back again without stopping. Now I wouldn't even get on my bike for such a short distance, I would just run it!
By the way.....woohooo! Off work for 2 weeks!
