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

I had on my plan to go for 6 miles today, however, Alistair's factor 9 delivery was a bit later and my friend was coming for a cup of tea and a blether at 2.30pm so I kept my run until 5pm today.

I was a bit frazzled today because I had to do my micro teaching session for my PDA course. We only had ten minutes to teach the class (of my colleagues) something new. It didn't have to be related to work so I made my life easy and blethered on about my role as a JogScotland Leader (wore my t-shirt for effect) and then made them all do some chair exercises to get active. When I got home I had to sort out Alistair's delivery as it all has to go in the fridge - it takes ages but it is a real reminder of how he still has his own challenge on his hands. Much more challenging than anything I am doing this year!

All of this needs to go in the fridge!!!!!!!

Once my friend went home I decided I would go out for my run - as I decided to go out what happened - yep the snow came on. Snow and sun - only in Scotland!!!!! I ended up running 3 miles which was better than the none I was trying to talk myself into :)

don't worry, be happy :)
