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 sore side ramblings

Went to the Docs and he was really great. He poked about whilst I said "no not hurting there" and then I hit the roof just as he got to the sticky out bit of my ribs and he poked just underneath and he said "Oh so it will be hurting there then" :-) . I can't remember doing anything to hurt it so he thought it was just a musculo skeletal injury (at the point where the muscles attach to the ribs) and that I have probably just overstretched at some point. 

Upshot is I have to get an x-ray and rest it and take painkillers for a while. So I have decided to take the hard decision (for me) to not train for a week to see if it will settle down. I am at a point where I was running 14 miles and my fitness is better than it has been in a long time. So I should be able to take a week off without too much problem. 

If I can't do the rock and roll half (which I will be very disappointed to miss) I will do Keswick in May instead which is one of my all time favs. 


Main thing is that it is not too serious and will go away in time. 

Got to try and chill out now.

don't worry, be happy :-)

    I reckon you must've laughed too hard at one of my jokes and literally split your sides!! At least it's not a fractured rib......hopefully. I think aswell as the painkillers perhaps some chocolate cake might help? Let's postpone the Peebles bike/ run till you're back on both feet without any stabbing pains! I can always keep myself busy cycling up some buggery hills till then.
