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


Did have a long run scheduled for today and it was such a lovely day but I had a headache to end all headaches (with hayfever thrown in). But rather than just sit watching rubbish on the telly, I got myself out of the door and dawdled around 3 miles with my head going from really hurting to reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hurting). It's a funny thing running with a sore head, the run either kills or cures. Today it killed. It is still rumbling away. My only reason for it might be I have had a lot of marking to do and we do it all online at the college so lots of staring at screens (oops that's what I am doing now). Will have to resort to a dark room and a paracetamol soon I think :(

still the sun is shining, and it is WARM!!!

don't worry, be happy :)
