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

Fully inspired as per usual by the London Marathon (and a bit of me wishing I was there despite saying that I wouldn't do it again and that was a box ticked!). Cheered a few Fetchies on, marvelled at the speed of the lead runners and wowed by Nell McAndrew and her 2:56. After that I got my running gear on and headed out the door for today's 8 mile run.

I love it when I am so far into marathon training that 8 miles feels easy, it was a really nice run, I felt strong, and felt fairly quick. And the sun was shining! Fabulous. Although marathon running does take it's toll - look at the state of my poor tootsies!


At least my toenails are still attached to my toes - I have that delight to look forward to!!!!!!! A few more really long runs will finish them off.

I love running!!

don't worry, be happy :)
