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

Went out for a 3 mile run just to keep the legs turning over. The Rock and Roll Half Marathon is on Sunday and I am getting quite excited about it now. Lots of Fetchies are going to so it should be a good day out. I am going into the Fitness Festival tomorrow in Holyrood Park to pick up my race number. There are going to be bands playing (The Red Hot Chilli Pipers and The Asps?) and freebies all round.

I am getting very excited now, I thought a week ago with my sore back that I wouldn't even get to the start line but after reading about Tracey's hugely inspirational adventure I can't wait to get going! The half marathon is not my most challenging of the three challenges but it will certainly set me up for the Marathon which is certainly a much bigger challenge for me.

Will take my camera with me tomorrow to record the excitement of the Fitness Festival.

don't worry, be happy :)
