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 swimming stories and running ramblings!!!!

Woke up this morning and decided that my back was just not up to fifteen miles. I still have a bit of wriggle room in my schedule so I was able to miss this run without too much damage being done. But I still wanted to do something so Rhona and I headed off down to the swimming pool. Back was a bit sore to start with but it did stretch up as I started my warm up. So after about ten lengths warming up I went for 20 lengths crawl. Very slow but managed it. Then I did a bit of swimming with my head in the water practice. Managed to do a bit, but not a lot. Getting better at it though.

After lunch the weather was so nice Rhona and I decided to go out with me running and her on her bike. My back was a bit better but still sore. Still not running very fast. We went around the woods and had a bit of fun on the way!





When we got back it was time to start the great haemophilia bake off! We ended up with 56 fairy cakes and a batch of cheese scones (baked especially by Rhona for Tracey!). Phew that was a lot of cakes to ice.


Tomorrow at college the HNC Early Education students are dressing in purple to help us with our fundraising. So Rhona and I have made them loads of cakes. Thanks guys :) Look out for your picture on twotacklethree!

don't worry, be happy :)
