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

What a beautiful day - Spring has truly sprung. Took myself up onto the road that runs alongside the Pentland hills. The sun was shining, the sky was blue with no clouds and the sheep were still standing there thinking I had lost the plot.

Despite having a wee niggle in my back - (a heat pad and two ibuprofen and now it feels much better) - I ran a wonderful 7 miles. Met Pam (hello if you have made it to my blog Pam) who I have known for many years, since playgroup days, and who is always very encouraging about my efforts to be an afleet and who didn't disappoint and sent me on my way with lots of encouragement.

Might give the bike a miss tomorrow as I think that my aggravate my back. Will still go for a swim.

Hope the nice weather stays for the weekend.

don't worry, be happy :)
