Two Tackle Three Take Two: Janey's running rambings

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 running rambings

I was the tail runner at Parkrun today, and I really enjoyed myself. It was much harder work than I thought it would be. The lady at the back that I ran with was called Clare and she ran really well. It was lovely to meet her. We did have a bit of a giggle when we heard over the radio that there was "two horses on the race track" we were at Cramond and couldn't imagine where the horses had come from! Apparently they were there, they had come off the beach. We had a bucket for fundraising at the finish line which Tracey dutifully thanked everyone for donating. Gary, the race director, is holding onto it and keeping it for next week. So hopefully the parkrunners should help us raise loads of dosh!

Then my day just got more exciting. We headed off to Ingliston to the Motorbike show. This was another thing that Alistair missed last year because of his illness so off we went to catch it this year. And well all I can say Tracey is do you think there is any restrictions on the type of bike you can use for the triathlon - cos I've got a few choices.......
