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

Headed off to Edinburgh parkrun this morning bright and early! I was feeling quite good so was hoping for a good run. Tracey met me at the car park and her pal Fiona came along for the fun. I felt really good throughout the race and when I got to 4K which is the point at which I usually cave and slow down I decided to try and pick up the pace for a change. I felt really good! And was rewarded with a PBeeeeeeee!!!! 28mins and 53 sec. This is my fastest 5K ever (in 26 years!). Tracey ran another Pb also - she is just getting faster and faster but I am sure she will fill you in on her race in her own race download!

Tomorrow brings the Meadows Half Marathon but no PB's there - I am just going to get around. Will be interesting because it is a loop of 1.26 mile which means 8 times around. Got my place from HappyG on Fetch, who is injured, so I will do my best and get around in one piece!

Good day! :)

don't worry, be happy :)
