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 running ramblings

After a week or so of not being able to run properly due to injury - I did 16 MILES today!!!! whoop whoop. And they were hard (as 16 miles always are) but not overly hard - so that's got to be good. It was an odd run weather wise, one minute it was freezing and the next it was sunny, then it was raining then it was not. My gloves were on and off like a yo yo. I could have done with a wee string over my shoulders to hold them on (like you had when you were wee).

I got an email yesterday from the organisers of the Edinburgh Marathon informing me of the fact that it is only 7 weeks away - aaaggghhh! That kind of spurred me on a tad to get going.

Very happy with myself now and can't wait for the half marathon on Sunday - will be a piece of cake after today's run. :)

don't worry, be happy :)
