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 taper tales

Today will end a tale of 3 halves (okay maths was never my strong point!!!). First I was at the college and Tracey and I went for our usual Monday lunchtime run along the Cramond seafront. It was still a little misty and there was a bit of a cool breeze although by the time we had turned around and heading back to the college there was blue skies and the sun was beginning to shine. Then as I am working tonight (there's the third half!!!) I left work early and then as the sun was by this point splitting the sky I decided to hit the road and top up today's mileage to a nice 6 miles. It was absolutely beautiful out there this afternoon. So it is now 4 o'clock and I am working up to heading out the door again to Musselburgh for 5.30pm.

So only two more days of short runs and then two days rest before the big day!!! (will do a wee short run on Saturday).

don't worry, be happy
