Accessibility an afterthought at this yearโ€™s Winterlude, advocates say
People with disabilities say this yearโ€™s Winterlude wasnโ€™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 (-15ยฐC, -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 (-18ยฐC, -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. ๐Ÿง

213 KM run this month (๐ŸŽ‰) 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 (-23ยฐC, -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. ๐Ÿค” #IceBeard
