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

What a bloomin' awful day today it was today. The rain just kept on coming and coming. I went for a 3 mile walk this morning and had planned to go for a short cycle in the afternoon but with the way the weather was just couldn't face it. So decided to go for a last swim (before the Triathlon) instead. As the pool is only 10 minutes away and Alistair had my car today I walked down to the pool. Flippin' eck I think I was wetter outside the pool than I was in it.

So managed my 750m, didn't bother with time but was happy that I kept going for the whole 30 lengths without stopping (other than the blip at the end when my goggles steamed up and I ran into the end of the pool cos I couldn't see :) ).

I do hope this horrible weather goes away, or at least stops raining, on Sunday otherwise we just won't have fun :(

don't worry, be happy :)

    We'll have fun no matter what the weather does! And people watching will also have a laugh, especially during the swim and watching us get out of the pool!!!
