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.

Our training this weekend!

Tracey's post

Once round Arthur Seat again (5k) on Saturday and managed to nearly keep up with a bouncy pony tail who overtook me on the way up (bah!) Arrived panting and legs aching, but my fastest time yet, 42mins! Then it was off home for a spot of lunch, a nice cup of coffee and feet up for a while, before a swim session...this triathlon training is easy! Think Jane may be training too hard, she's seeing Santas all over the place

Jane's post

I ran in Keswick on Saturday. Got up early and headed up towards Castle Head. It was really muddy and had to walk up a bit of the hill that got really steep. It was really cold but still dry. When I got to the top the view was stunning. Big hills, big view and then rain! Sent Tracey a text to show her the BIG hill that I had run up and then the snow came on! Time to get off the hill I think. Headed back down towards the Lake and then around Friar's Crag, along the side of Derwentwater. Spoke to Santa Claus for a bit and then headed back up through the town. 4 miles. Really cold. Fantastic running though.
