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 swimming stories

Well I managed the distance for the triathlon in 20:05:74. I am glad I dropped my time down to 22 mins because 2 weeks after the marathon I am not sure I will have the energy to pull out 20mins on the day. This way I will be at the front of my wave not at the back!

Then I went to the post office to hand in two parcels, I swear I went in 42 and came out 43! At one point I counted 20 people in the queue and one woman serving (who was having a wee chat with everyone). It really is like stepping back in time. I think I spent longer in the post office than I did in the swimming pool!

Parkrun tomorrow and shock horror I might even go outside on my bike later on. Will keep you informed.

don't worry, be happy :)
