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

Today Tracey and I ventured out on our lunchtime run along the Cramond foreshore - and shock of shocks it wasn't windy and the sun was shining so much it was almost too warm. Tracey has under two weeks now until her first challenge - Mont Ventoux (just in case you had forgotten Tracey :)). Mine is three weeks away with the Rock and Roll Half Marathon in Edinburgh. Tracey was looking good despite her cold! Bring it on :)

Our fabulous HNC students and the staff from the Childcare and Social Care team helped us raise £55 by dressing in purple for the day and eating cakes. Thanks to Rhona for the delicious cakes and scones and to Maxine for her lemon buns. The students joined in the fun by wearing purple and eating the cakes!!

 The staff in our team also dressed in purple and ate the cakes :) It was a really nice day and I thank you all for taking part.

don't worry, be happy :)

Couldn't resist going out when I went home from work as it was so warm. So a quick 3 miles was in order. It was just lovely. That makes about 5 miles for today. Back feeling a bit better now.

    ...and the cheese scones were fabulous, thanks Rhona! We will need to sack the official photographer though, she was rubbish! That's what she gets for not wearing her specs!!!!
