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

After helping at the primary school I headed out for a four mile run. It was really nice, although I think the council had decided that this was the day they were going to cut ALL the grass in Penicuik. I was sneezing like nobody's business by the time I got back. There was great big spots of rain landing all around me by the time I was heading home and the skies had gotten very dark and it was very warm. It felt like a thunderstorm brewing - but nothing yet. I love it when it gets like that.

Got an email about my race pack from the Great Trail Run in Keswick on the 17th, can't wait. It is basically a 10K trail run up one of the prettiest wee fells in Keswick, Latrigg. I don't know how many times I have walked and run up Latrigg and never tire of the view from the top. When you get to the top you see Skiddaw to the back of Latrigg, Derwentwater stretched out in front of you and then Keswick down below. It is just wonderful. And to top it off, as it is Father's Day we gave Alistair the choice of the Loosebox (now known as LB's or the Old Keswickian (chippy) a resounding Chippy was the reply from everyone, so that is where we are having out tea out next Sunday!!! Excellent.




Got to get the Triathlon out of the way first though! 

don't worry, be happy :)
