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.

Another PB...It's like I'm a proper athlete....in my head anyway. 33.15 for the park run this morning, and that's including a long chat with a fellow runner about holidays. Then I remembered it was supposed to be a race, so started running faster...and that was at 4 k, the time I' m usually tiring and going into survival shuffle. Didn't see Jane from the start line to the finish as she is now so super fast, and she's just going to do a half marathon tomorrow!! Unbelievable! It was good to see Fiona today as well, I don't know how I managed to convince her to do it, but she is now intending to do it next week too!
Went for a swim later, which is soooooooo frustrating! Pedro ( the pool boy) has lulled me into a false sense of being able to swim. I read Janes blog about her 18 min swim and I am so impressed. I am no where near being able to even complete 30 lengths of crawl yet, let alone do it within 20 mins. More training required, I think!!
