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 nearly running ramblings!!

Met Tracey for several cups of tea/coffee and a wee cheese scone at Pentland Plants Cafe, after discovering that Rosslyn Chapel now expects you to pay £9.00 to buy a yearly pass to be able to get into their cafe! And that's before you even start to buy your tea. (Outraged from Penicuik). That's my grumble over - anyway, Pentland Plants won out in the end cos we were there for ages. Anyway, poured over Tracey's map and route plans. Given it was snowing outside it all looked very exciting. 

Once I got home I had lunch and then donned my winter gear and headed out into the snowy outlands of Penicuik to post a letter. Three miles walked again, felt stronger than yesterday, my legs are starting to feel stronger again. It is amazing how quickly your fitness drops when it takes so long to build it back up.

Anyway, think I will try to run for a very short run tomorrow on the flat. See how I get on. 

Good luck Tracey with the Ventoux. Have a great trip.

don't worry, be happy :)
