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 no running ramblings

I have just read Tracey's blog and it must just be the week for it. I have been feeling so rubbish this week I have not been out since our run on Monday. Rhona had a bug at the beginning of the week and was off school for a few days and then it was my turn to catch the bug. It has just floored me. I haven't even felt like running at all. I might try to go for a swim this morning and take it easy rather than do a full session.

I am going to take my bike to Fife with me tomorrow cos Erin (my niece) asked if I wanted to go on a bike ride with her. First time I will have been outside on my bike for at least a year. I have done lots of miles on the turbo trainer but will have to actually pedal up a hill and out in the weather. So that should be fun :)

I will take the camera so look out for some spectacular photos (hee hee).

Also a wee shout out for the parkrunners at Edinburgh Parkrun and to Gary (Race Director) who is passing our bucket around again tomorrow for our fundraising effort. Thanks Parkrunners.

don't worry, be happy :)

Swimming this morning went well. I decided not to time myself or even count lengths I just decided to swim. Swam for 20 until the big kids came in and it felt like a washing machine again. I didn't feel too bad this morning, bug obviously on it's way out.

don't worry, be happy :)
