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 rainy running ramblings

After a nice morning at the Primary School and then lunch at Glentress with Ali we took a drive back to Peebles along our cycle route for the Triathlon.

It doesn't seem to bad Tracey, a couple of hills but to you they will be mere blips. I do think we will need to do a bit of a trial run though - mainly for me so that I can be sure I will make it up those wee hills. No chance to get lost though - straight out and back with trees on both sides. Easy peasy - ha :)

Then I decided to go for my run when I got back, I planned to do an 8 mile run but after 2 miles the rain started bouncing off the ground and me so decided when I came to the point that I could do either 6 or go for the extra two mile loop that 6 miles was quite enough whilst soaking wet and freezing for the third time this week. Still got my winter woollies on - I want the sun to come back.

don't worry, be happy :)

    Of course it wasn't too bad....you were in the car!! That's the whole reason for choosing Peebles....it's not too hilly, and by all accounts a lovely wee run along the river, I think there are some cafe's to stop and have tea and cakes too!

    Alistair just thinks you stop to eat cake all the time!!!!!! And I think T1 and T2 might be a bit slow if we stop for tea - although I am up for that if you are! :)
