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 today I decided I would give the tri suit a go. I suspect it was a bit big for me cos I felt like I was dragging two weights off my legs the whole way - a bit of drag there I suspect. It was flippy hard work! I was a whole 2.5 mins slower than I was last week. I also felt really wet when I came out, not sure I fancy that at all. I don't really do wet. So I think I will revert back to my original plan of swimmy and then changing into shorts and a top when I get to transition - a tub of talc will sort out any tricky dressing issues. :)

Planning to run 22 miles tomorrow as my last long run before the marathon in two weeks time - eeek. I am quite looking forward to it now - just got to make it through the next two weeks now without injuring myself. Cotton wool weeks I think! Can't wait for my two taper weeks so that I can get a bit of a rest.

don't worry, be happy :)
