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.

Erin is joining us!

My niece Erin has decided to join in with all the fun and is going to take part in the Edinburgh to St Andrew's Bike ride that Tracey is doing. Although I do think it is because she thinks she is going to get cake at the church halls dotted along the route! Does she Tracey? I think I may have lured her into thinking that she might. If not I will have to meet her on the way to feed her with cake!

Thanks Erin for joining in, your Uncle Ali and I appreciate it very much.

don't worry, be happy :)

  1. Don't worry Erin, there's plenty of cakes! First stop Ice cream van at the top of Cleish hill, second a fab and super cheap lunch at Kinross, then the ultimate luxury of tea and cakes at Fruchie, before a last banana stop at Pitscottie....just the small matter of the 68 miles in between!!
