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.

Thursday 29 March 2012

Eilidh is off to Vancouver with her dad and her best friend, so without the need to be an on call taxi driver I was able to cycle to and from work today. Going is easy peasy, as it's mostly down hill, but going home is all uphill. It's about 9 miles each way, so quite a good route. My crowning glory was when I overtook someone....at the top of Liberton Brae! Granted it wasn't at the steep bit, and I had come across the Braids so hadn't cycled up it myself, and he probably had, but I felt really quite smug as I steamed passed him.....he wasn't even an old man! I had cycled this route before, a long time ago, but this time it felt much easier and it definitely didn't take me as long as it had before. Might do it all again tomorrow!!
