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 racing ramblings

Went into the Fitness festival to pick up my race number today for the Rock and Roll Half Marathon.


Then I wandered over to watch The Red Hot Chilli Pipers.



 I have seen them on the TV before but never live they were amazing! The sun was shining and everyone was enjoying themselves - including this incredibly wee wiry woman from Brazil - she was dancing about so much I couldn't actually get her on camera for long. 


I am pretty sure this will be the angle I see her from tomorrow - she looked a bit fast! Although you can never tell with people.

I took loads of videos of the Chilli's playing but here are a couple of them (look carefully and you can see the manic woman from Brasil dancing about):







Their whole set was brilliant and the crowd was jumping. The bands tomorrow should be great too when all the runners and their families are there too. Great.

Can't wait to get going, I am going to turn the house upside down though to look for my running gloves, whilst it was warm my wee hands were chilly and I am sure they will be cold down at Porty.

Tune in tomorrow for my race report.

eeeeeekkkk, excited now.

don't worry, be happy :)
