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 ramblings

1 March and it is a lovely day! The sun was shining and it was actually quite warm. Even got my legs out again and rolled my sleeves up. Nice to feel the sun again. The daffodils had all opened up, beautiful. Almost spring,well we'll see.

My day started with Alistair and I having to get my car started. Because Ali still can't do anything strenuous he had the pleasure of sitting in the car watching me trying to push the car. By the time we got it started my quads were screaming at me and my arms were all wobbly! So this definitely goes down as cross training.

I ran 6 miles and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it felt. Must be getting stronger. Triathlon training tomorrow morning - Swim/Bike brick.

Parkrun on Saturday and the Meadows half marathon on Sunday. I must be mad :)

don't worry, be happy :)

Glad you got some things crossed off your list Tracey - maybe you'll not be so grumpy now :) (only joking!!!!!)
