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 biking blether!

How busy have I been today?

After a leisurely 4 hour Transition (with lunch and cake in between) I headed out for a cycle. Yes, I hear you cry Tracey, outside with real wind and hills and stuff. Headed out up the Peebles Road (the mile brae) and then turned up onto the Moor road towards Carlops and West Linton. I actually cycled all the way to the Scottish Borders! (That sounds impressive but actually was only 5 miles out of Penicuik). The sun was shining, not too windy with gorgeous views of the Pentlands. I saw two birds of prey and about a million sheep and their lambs (awww). I did get a bit bored after a while and started singing Achy Brakey Heart out load which was slightly alarming for the sheep and me (don't know where it came from).

Still managed 11 miles in around 1hour and 10mins. Not going to break any records and may well be last in the triathlon but you know what I managed it and it wasn't too bad. Now got to work on hitting the road after it and getting to the bit I really like - the RUN!!! :)

not doing any more damn exercise today - I am done! Going to have a cider in the bath tonight and relax!

don't worry, be happy :)
