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.

First "Race"

Perhaps it was the sheet ice we were running, I mean sliding on, perhaps it was the sub zero temperature, perhaps it was the early Saturday morning start.,,,.but that was hard!!

Really pleased with my time (35.44), and the fact I didn't walk  or stop ( unlike some others,..... feeling v smug about that!). Not quite so pleased with the photo published by the papparrazzi, who just wouldn't leave me alone on my way to the finish...seriously they were even running alongside,snapping away...a bit of privacy please Rhona!

Just dont ask about my finishing position!

    Rhona did say that she started running with you cos she didn't think you would be pleased if she beat you back walking! I gave her a slap for you - cheeky monkey :)
