  1. A sunny #dailyrun today along the #rideaucanal and through Confederation Park past the #winterlude ice sculptures (shown, Jeremy Hansen & the space launch system rocket) #ottawa #running hi

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  7. Thursday #Workout:
    11 minutes of yoga for runners.
    20 minutes of pilates.
    12 minutes of snow shovelling.
    8.3 KM of #Running (-4°C, -11 windchill, 67% humidity, and 24 KM/H wind, gusting 37 KM/H).

    Not a big fan of pilates, but it can be fun. Snow shovelling, on the other hand, is fun, as is running.

    Added another KM to the run as a test and my pace and heart rate held steady. We'll see how I feel later today and more importantly, tomorrow morning.

    #Ottawa is getting ready for #Winterlude! 🎉

  9. @johnefrancis I don’t live in Ottawa 😢

    It requires a commitment to go visit it… planning on #Winterlude.

  10. What a crazy stretch of days without thaws we're on. And with the #Winterlude festival underway we were always guaranteed a substantial melt. It's gotta be a decade or two since we've had this few hours above zero celsius in late-Jan/Feb.

  11. Happy Winter-a view from my Sunroom after our first storm of ‘25-outside temp is 9 degrees F. Coffee is in hand-and books ready. (Hudson Valley of New York in USA) #Winterlude #HudsonValley #NY

  12. Since the #RideauCanal will quickly be returning to a more liquid state, #Winterlude needs to adapt.

    Rescue responders have developed these interesting inflatable rescue kayaks that can be walked across thin ice.

    It looks a bit silly and I think this has great potential to be costumed into horses, dragons, cows wearing rubber boots, etc during some sort of race to replace the ice dragon boats.

    Maybe a team of the Day Mayor and Night Mayor in a race that starts exactly at dusk?
