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.

Forgot to update blog yesterday, but thought I' d just do it after my run today instead, except I didn't run today! I did think about it as I was " working from home" this morning, but it was just too horrible out there! I know it's getting near to the triathlon, too near, but I just couldn't make myself get out there. I did swim yesterday morning as planned though. Forced myself into the fast lane and although I had to stop after every 2 lengths to get my breath back, I did try to go for speed over endurance....just hope it's having the desired effect, cos it's really hard! Will go to the parkrun tomorrow with Jane, but not expecting to be fast as my old hip spasm has returned! It's ok when I run, but my leg kinda collapses randomly from the hip after....I'm sure that's not supposed to happen!!
