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 soggy running ramblings

After another afternoon of marking (aaaggghhh) I spent about half an hour deliberating over whether I should go out for a run in the pouring rain. Personally I blame Prince Charles for the weather:

I was leaning towards not bothering because it was absolutely chucking it down but then I thought about Alistair. He has been busy going around his work colleagues getting me sponsors for marathon. last count he was up to £220!!! Which will take us nearly up to £1000 which would be absolutely amazing.

So I donned my winter gear (again) - yesterday I was in my summer stuff and it was absolutely gorgeous. How different a day can be. There were huge puddles everywhere. The water was running off my fringe and dripping down my nose. Yuk. I really do hate running in the rain. I hope this is not the weather on the day of the marathon, the thought of 26 miles dripping wet does not appeal. Anyway, 22 miles on Sunday - so here's hoping no rain then either.

don't worry, be happy :)
