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

Well only managed five miles today my sore back has now localised and is definitely a strained or pulled muscle in my side. It is better but still quite sore when I am running, particularly down the hills. I most definitely won't be running 15 miles tomorrow. This is the first time since January that I have not been able to keep to my schedule but I am better missing one long run than putting myself out for a whole week or two. I might go for a swim as it really seemed to ease out in the water. More ibuprofen and a hot water bottle at my side whilst I watch the telly will improve things! :)

That being said what a beautiful run I had, the sun was shining, it was really warm and there were two of the most beautiful horses in the field on the way up to Silverburn. For the last day of winter this was a nice day!

Remember to move the clocks on!


Do you think our clocks will be changed in the class room Tracey? Imagine if Morrisons forget to change theirs - where will you be then! Hee Hee :)

don't worry, be happy :)
