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

Ho hum, yesterday as I was coughing my lungs up in the car on the way back from a nice afternoon with Rhona shopping in the town, my back went into a huge spasm and I had to be helped out of the car by Alistair!!! After an agonising night in my bed with an ice pack and several painkillers I have got up this morning and it is beginning to settle down a bit. In a weird sort of way the spasm usually marks the recovery as my sore back usually starts to get better again. So here's hoping it will follow the usual pattern. Will definitely stay off the running for a whole week though (despite it driving me nuts).

Tracey I am so impressed and proud of how you have handled your diabetes and can't wait for the Ventoux updates next weekend. I will be thinking about you all day on Easter Sunday.

I am still planning to get myself up and running again for the Rock and Roll Half Marathon on the 15th, can't let the side down :)

Anyway, keep reading, Running Janey will return :)

don't worry, be happy :)
