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.

Holidays?

I decided to take a break from all this training and spent the last 2 days on the sofa drinking wine...nice!  But have now talked myself back into it,and I had to try out my super new Christmas training gear! The proper running gloves are so much better than my old fleecy ones which I just got too hot in. I also got some "X socks", which are so hi tech they came with a set of instructions!! But they seem to work as my feet weren't sore at all after my gentle 5 k along the Braids and back.  It was so busy with dog walkers, but I only stopped once for  cute little lab pup! The owner saw right through me saying "any excuse for a break eh?"
I have read Janes posts.......she just doesn't stop! Looks like I'll need to start taking this seriously and make a training plan which involves more than "go for a run if you can be bothered"!
Go Jane ...you can make the 1000!!!
