Accessibility an afterthought at this year’s Winterlude, advocates say
People with disabilities say this year’s Winterlude wasn’t designed with accessibility in mind, barring people with mobility challenges from one of the festival's main attractions.

I may make a video combining the multiple clips I took today of the #skidoo stunt riding in the #bywardMarket for #winterlude but for now this covers the gist of it! #barbegazi

Sunday #Workout:
7.2 KM of #Walking (-15°C, -23 windchill, 73% humidity, and 15 KM/H wind).

Morning of reading and then a walk with @TAV to brunch by way of #Winterlude at Confederation Park and got the next round of photos of the ice sculptures there. A few are still being worked on. Names of the artists and names are in the ALT.

Certainly feels like it's warming up out there.

Saturday #Workout:
13.2 KM of #Running (-18°C, -27 windchill, 75% humidity, and 15 KM/H wind).

Today was supposed to be a short run, but I had to go check the ice sculptures. They're being actively worked on.

Pretty good Z2(ish) run, felt much warmer that earlier this week. Lots of people out in the various #Winterlude locations. Saw a few run clubs, strangely all cruising in the opposite direction I was heading. 🧐

213 KM run this month (🎉) and a bit over 62 KM this week. I'm really pleased.

Friday #Workout:
22 minutes of yoga for runners.
30 minutes of strength training.
10.6 KM of #Running (-23°C, -34 windchill, 68% humidity, and 22 KM/H wind, gusting to 32 KM/H).

Good workouts, strength was fun.

Run was chilly and windy. I decided to try another Z2 run to try to keep the sweating down to a minimum.

Will have to go out again tomorrow, because #Winterlude doesn't officially open today until 1600. My phone's front-facing camera seems to have trouble focusing in cold. 🤔 #IceBeard
